> Because Chromium developers want their browser to be free from digital
restrictions, this bug will stay unfixed for Ubuntu too.

What difference does that make?  It's not "their browser."  Chromium is
free software, and Ubuntu can patch it however it pleases.

What would serve users better: to be able to use this plugin in
Chromium, or to have no choice but to use the Google-built Chrome
package and its proprietary code?

The answer to that question is clear, and therefore the right thing to
do is also clear: apply a patch to Chromium in Ubuntu when a patch
becomes available.  It makes no sense to WONTFIX this bug.  WONTFIX is
an anti-user attitude that doesn't belong in Ubuntu or any other free
software Linux distro.
