Google Chrome Canary coming to other OSes?
The Google Chrome Dev channel received an update yesterday, and while its changelog was a lengthy one, most of the changes were stability fixes and interface polish. There was, however, an interesting note on one of the less significant entries.Revision 67228 removed some un-needed text from the channel changer in Chrome OS -- which lets you choose to listen for updates to the stable, beta, or dev build. The removed text was Canary, which isn't needed since Chrome Canary currently only runs on Windows.
The revision, however, reads "Remove 'canary' as it's not yet supported as of now." Now, this is just a comment in the Chromium code at the moment -- but it could well indicate that Canary is headed to other OSes. What do you say, Mac and Linux users? Would you install Chrome Canary if it was available for your OS?

I would definitely sign up for the Canary Build. I currently use Chrome Dev Channel and the Chromium Daily Build. I finally moved away from Windows, moving to Linux full-time after two years of dual-booting. I welcome software companies including Linux on their bleeding edge releases along with Windows.

I would install Chrome Canary in OS X. I currently have a copy of Chromium installed alongside the stable version of Chrome. Canary would be more convenient as it can be more easily and automatically.
