Sure.  However, FC23 is still listed as a supported release: 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases#Current_Supported_Releases.  Maybe only 
"Critical" security fixes would make it to FC23 though, not "High" 
(https://www.chromium.org/developers/severity-guidelines), but people likely 
assume otherwise.  Note also that Chromium is not listed as a Critical Path 
package, unlike Firefox.
