Qubes 3.1 doesn't have an fc24 template. 
Qubes 3.2 won't be released with fc23 because it's too late in testing, but 
will (does currently for the RC) have an fc24 template available.

It looks like chromium-53.0.2785.116-1.fc23 should now be in 'updates-testing' 
repo (since 2016-09-21 17:43:43Z), but it hasn't propagated far.

Out of 6 mirrors in Australia, only one here even had the previous 
53.0.2785.113-1.fc23.x86_64, in 'updates-testing', which is now ~8 days old.

YMMV, but looks like Fedora needs to drop some consistently slow mirrors: 
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mirrormanager/propgation

Also, if fc23 users want Chromium, it needs package testers.

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.
