Well the results are... this was likely the best way they could put a knife in ChromeOS as a platform.
Whatever the convergence plan is, Pixel C is the test hardware. The bootloader bits are in the ChromeOS tree. It uses Coreboot.
It's a ChromeOS device and I suspect it's future will include a return to its roots.
ARC in Chrome will be a better way forward for Android than trying to fix all of Android's insidious problems on the "desktop" and making mobile Chrome more fully featured. It just seems painfully obvious that Chrome is going to win.
It's better tech all around.

That's how I use my MBA 11''. XMonad, mutt and friends.
But this one could be better.
