Is this not obsolete, abandoned by Google in favor of Android side running Linux containers?

In May 2016 Google announced a different way of getting Android apps on Chromebooks, see e.g. "Goodbye ARC; Hello containers" in Ars Technica. Or maybe that's called ARC++ per this LWN article? --Skierpage (talk) 12:30, 9 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

I found this page trying to find details about the current Home application on my recently purchased new Chromebook, when I installed Nova, it's settings revealed the name of the other Home app preinstalled, Arc Home. So anecdotally it seems to me Google is still using Arc in it's nomenclature for Android on ChromeOS. Mathiastck (talk) 00:54, 4 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Is it still partially open-sourced project?

(Cant see "partially" in source (it may be): "The Android Runtime for Chrome is a partially open-sourced project being developed by Google". As of January 2015 still true? "As of January 2015, the development by Google is taking place behind closed doors") (undo | thank)

The referenced page still (as of now) says "A small set of shared objects can be built which are part of ARC currently. A fully running system cannot currently be built." It is just my interpretation of this that ARC is partially open source. TvojaStara (talk) 16:31, 24 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
