This would, imho, be the best possible outcome of this: libchromeos becoming the underpinning for all Google's consumer OS projects, and then having a distinct userland slapped on top of it. Especially if it meant the device-specific stuff all happens in the brillo/core layer, and we can slap a chromeos, iot, or android layer on top of it regardless of the device.
