I've been trying to track the termina project (along with the KVM and vm_launcher bits). From what I can glean: termina is a minimal flavor chromeOS designed to be run with the vm_launcher that will support OCI based containers. I have no idea how the UI will look around it or be exposed. The virtio wayland stuff requires support from the guest VM and termina has it. Tatl and tael are just the x64 and arm flavors of termina.
So as a developer you could easily spin up your own VM (I guess without a GUI) to mess around with, but use a single instance of termina to launch a bunch of container based linux apps for yourself so you don't run out of ram launching tons of vms.
This is a bit of speculation on my part mostly from picking through docs and commits messages. I'm not sure how it will all come together. I'd be completely sold on a NVMe pixelbook once I see some announcements or commitment to something like this for developers.
