Chromium 80.0.3987.162-0ubuntu1 not published in Bionic-security

Asked by Johnny Lately

A recent article pointed out that there are severe security
vulnerabilities that are fixed in Chromium 80.0.3987.162 but I noticed
that it is being pushed only for the Focal beta rather than more
generally for Xenial-Security and Bionic-Security.

Any guidance on whether people should just install the deb's manually
from the pool for now or wait until it rolls in?

Just be patient, work is in progress, see

I assume it needs a certain amount of testing before it is published.
