I'll take this as the sign that entirety of Chromebook is at high risk of being canceled.

  Isn't it still wildly successful in the edu market? This would be shocking if they went this route. With that said, the Pixel Slate was an unmitigated failure so hopefully the only impact this has is on the Chromebook Pixel line.

    US education market, hardly noticeable anywhere else. Question is if one country is enough to keep it going, even one of the US's size.

      What are other countries using that would be as cheap to deliver/manage?

        No idea, the point is that it didn't take off anywhere else. Here in Germany I only saw them a couple of times in a few consumer toolchains, as regular visitor it was interesting to watch their price being reduced across weeks until they could finally get rid of them, and never again on display.

Google backing off on first-party work means that third parties that have always been the backbone of the Chromebook effort have less concern that Google's going to snatch the valuable segment of the market away from them, so I would say that its at least as likely to be a positive sign for Chromebook as a continuing effort as a negative one.
