Ubuntu 12.04LTS is still stuck with Chromium 37.
No point releases for 15 months now. Even though there was a 12.04.5 after 14.04 it seems the original idea was to release them every 6 months but stop once the next LTS is available. I think it's safe to assume there will not be any more point releases for 12.04.
However, waiting for April 2017 seems ludicrous to me. People already had 20 months to upgrade to 14.04. Granted, it doesn't run well on old systems (<2004 or so) but there always are other flavors available, e.g. lubuntu 14.04 LTS.
http://gs.statcounter.com says 5.1% chrome users still have chrome < 39. This is practically identical to the number of hopeless Firefox users. Incidentally, w3schools groups anything < 39 as 'Older' which amounts to 1.7%/66.5%=2.6%. Of course w3schools does not represent the general public.
In conclusion, I think it's practical to require chrome 39+ from now on. Perhaps it's time to use minimum_chrome_version in the manifest.
