Agreed. We do that too.

The point is, V8 is in a different class from the other JavaScript engines
currently in deployment. Chrome is kind of a toy right now, but the point is
it's optimized to run JavaScript intense applications. Being able to
identify Chrome allows us to build applications that push JavaScript the
JavaScript engine a little harder.

I don't actually care all that much as I just add it on my own. I just
wondered what other people thought about it.
