Yoav everyone on this thread is a Chromium developer and almost everyone posting in this thread (not me) are some of the top developers working on Chrome and many of them have spent a good deal of time working on sandbox related issues. All of us have a healthy disrespect for the "impossible" and would definitely like to see plugin's sandboxed by default, but it's a very difficult problem. We're working hard on many fronts like making more stuff possible without plugins (HTML 5), new technologies (NaCl), etc to change the status quo.
I know it doesn't mean much to you, but I've met and/or worked with many of the developers that reached the conclusion that sandboxing plugins isn't practical (at least by default) and I can say that they're not only some of the smartest developers I've ever met, but that the decision was also painful to them. If you wanted to help, patches would be great. But I think it'd also be helpful if you turned it on and filed bugs when you hit compat issues. I'm not sure there's much else to say on the topic...
