Is there any chance of the -bin (precompiled) versions being hosted once an official release is made? I guess there's little reason for it as they're so easy to "compile" yourself, but it would simplify upgrading/maintenance for a number of users. I don't see google moving away from their custom build utilities any time soon, so unless someone forks chromium we're probably not going to get that a simplified build process.
