Wasn&#x27;t it fast tracked into the <i>release</i> channel?  That is, 38.0.5 would have been a patch release on top of 38.0.4.<p>On the bright side, that has lead to a more serious look at shipping parts of the browser as first-party extensions.  I&#x27;m very much looking forward to that, even if I end up leaving all of them on.
