Good information here about EXO, and ChromeOS:

Is Exo going to continue to exist as a Wayland compositor? I figured it was going to be retired as ChromeOS turned into an Android overlay…

Yes, becoming Android overlay removes Chrome from the OS so Exo is going to retire. We still have to maintain Exo experience until the all ChromeOS device reach AUE or be updated to Android. Latest device AUE date I see are in 2033.

If folks don’t want Exo be listed we’ll just have Chromium here. Edited 1 week ago by Fangzhou Ge

I’m fine either way, if the Aura Shell is going to be around for a while, then it makes sense to include it.

I don’t even knowed that Chrome OS is/will be replaced by Android as an overlay.

First I am hearing of this. So if I am understanding this right, ChromeOS is becoming Android and an overlay will be used to maintain compatibility with ChromeOS only apps?
