Hi,
For 1., I'd say yes for 3.0, partially for 2014.x (already obsolete and we lack the manpower to push updates to 3 versions) but 2014.x should really be discouraged.

For 2., I wonder why anyone would want to use Chrome as opposed to Chromium (almost exactly the same thing, except the latter is Open Source and can be modified as we need it)? Chrome does run on OMLx, so it shouldn't be a big deal - but Chromium is preferable in every way (and easier to do for us too, given we already maintain packages). What SHOULD be a big deal for his customers: Chromium is built from source so we know what it does, while Chrome might just share all their data with Google and the US government as it pleases.
