Hmm. If I follow your argument, there will be no progress at all in
FreeType. It's a pity that Chromium violates the public API, but this
has to be fixed eventually.
In case application maintainers don't want to update Chromium, they
have to bundle FreeType.

I disagree, but thanks for the heads-up.
