Really simple here. As most of you should know, Chromium now has a
"Pin tab" feature (accessed via right-clicking a tab and hitting 'Pin
tab').

The whole premise of "pinning" something is to keep it there; usually
for a tab you want to be persistent with your browsing session. For
example, say you're uploading a rather large file to a server through
a web interface. You don't want it take-up extra room since you're
just gonna be browsing, and leaving the tab there while it does its
thing. And, you don't want to give its own window - so you decide to
just pin the tab. It gets pinned to the left, and minimizes the amount
of space it takes, making you happy.

You decide to use the current Chrome window for just browsing,
occasionally checking the process of the tab that's uploading your
file. While browsing, you decide to use the "Close other tabs"
feature, expecting your pinned tab to stay persistent - because it's,
well, pinned. To your dismay, the tab you pinned was closed as well.
This does, in fact, not make you happy.

Ending this predictable example, I think you know where I'm going with
this: What do you think about offering pin'd tabs the ability to be
immune to the "close other tabs" command?

Thanks for reading, fair citizens.
