I think these are quite interesting questions. Chromium just spent a lot of effort to get stock Chromium working as a ChromeOS client, rather than it purely being available as part of ChromeOS itself. Is that ... pointless now in the face of a rebase on Android? Seems like it will end up being a win for a narrow window of devices?

(I was thinking about this, and maybe it's intentional. Make Chrome a first class citizen on formerly-ChromeOS. Make ChromeOS a generic base for AVF VMs. Maybe they even have cros working so well that they can do crostini inside an AVF VM?

So it would be Android, Chrome-on-ChromeOS in an AVF VM, Linux-on-ChromeOS in another AVF VM, Windows in a third AVF VM, etc.
