The recent updates of ungoogled-chromium do not mention [security updates]. Well, I do not know if they are. So the question would be: what triggers the special security build? Well, the work-in-progress [1] about some metrics of Cuirass (Guix's CI) would provide interesting answers on the concrete feasibility and future improvements.
