There is nothing wrong with pointing that out. And I think you have a 
valid point here.

But the way you did… was not really appropriate or helpful.

It is perfectly your choice to migrate to another OS.

But I wonder where you take the authority from to speak about a lot of 
Linux users. Do you have anything to back up your claim?

For example I am not effected at all as I am using Devuan Ceres, which is 
based on Debian Sid, for desktop machines. And I do not care all that 
much about Chromium anyway as Firefox is my main browser.

Anyway, someone needs to do the additional work. For free. So I really 
ask you to reconsider whether your tone is helpful here. If I would be 
one of the developers in charge, when confronted with such a tone, I 
would probably just think: "Yeah, then just migrate to another OS. I 
don't care." And that not cause I would not care about the security 
issue you pointed out.
