Hi,

[X-Debbugs-CC to security team alias and chromium maintainers]

Chromium with his recurring stream of security issues is currently as
well for bookworm/unstable with around 47 open CVEs. For
stable/oldstable it's even more since there hasn't been an update for
half a year.

Within the security team we are considering to announce the end of
security support for chromium for buster and bullseye. People can e.g.
transition to using Chromium from Flathub.

Right now for unstable it's unclear if it should be asked to be
removed as well, but that seems a quite drastic. To keep the way
potentially open for bookworm we would like to ask instead to for now
remove chromium from testing and having a block hint to avoid
re-entering testing.

Removing chromium from testing though has the implication that it
qunit-selenium needs to be removed as well, so please remove this one
along (pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers as well CC'ed).

Regards,
Salvatore
