Is having a Chromium "kernel" such a bad thing? We don't complain there isn't sufficient competition for the Linux "kernel"

More eyes and hands on a single open source code base is better use of resources and leads to a better output.

I think the issue is that Google still has full control over the source. Maybe we just need to pull an io.js on chromium, though Microsoft would need to be on board.
