We don't use our official communication channels (the mailing lists and
#guix IRC channel) to recommend non-free software. But Chromium is
widely distributed under a BSD license, so I think we should consider it
free. Guix goes beyond software freedom by following the FSDG [0], and
the Chromium varant being discussed is specifically intended to comply
with the FSDG.

In general, we don't need to handle bug reports for packages in external
channels. In this case, we are working to bring the package into GNU
Guix, so it's appropriate to report issues here, in my opinion.
