If you search the archives of this list, you'll see that I raised problems with the chromium package ages before it was imported and way before this discussion started.
I agree that the chromium package is somewhat messy. But I feel like that's inevitable, for an integration of this size. If you want all the i's to be dotted, etc., you need a staffed team to maintain it, not volunteers.
The fact that we have a Chromium package at all is a major selling point. It makes people excited! (I certainly find it exciting.) With concerns about the direction that Firefox is taking, having Chromium available is great.
The point about importing it is that it is built. If, hypothetically speaking, the next pkgsrc branch has a working chromium binary package, that's a huge value for users.
