In my opinion it is the best thing that we can do until the bug will
be really fixed. As far as I know, the main reason why openchrome
driver didn't hit
Gentoo portage tree earlier is that openChrome project didn't make any
releases or release candidates till the 0.2.900 version. Now when the
situation has changed the way is open. I'll point Steve to this
discussion, maybe he has something to add.

Thank you for explanation, I certainly understand your point. And as I
said I appreciate openchrome team efforts very much.
