Android is very unapologetically Linux and it's unlikely anyone seriously proposed doing anything other than use Linux.
Fuchsia more likely was for all the stuff that Google kept experimenting with using Android just because it was there rather than because it was a good fit - wearables, IoT, AR/VR, Auto, etc...

- kllrnohj 2y agoI didn't say it was, although for wearables & IoT Android is pretty large.
