It would presumably be fud in the sense that to merge ChromeOS and Android wouldn't require all that much in order to provide the functionality people use ChromeOS for. If it provides Chrome + pnacl + support for installing/running Chrome apps, it won't even have to be visible to people that the system underneat is largely Android unless they want to know.
I have a ChromeBook, and to be honest, I have no idea what the filesystem is like, even. As much as the geek in me wants to play around, the pragmatic in me recognises that I bought it to have a light, low maintenance way of running a web brower + ssh on the go, and is too busy doing other stuff than poking around...
So assuming that people will be able to keep running the same apps, with a similarly clean launcher, there's every reason for them to sell that as "ChromeOS isn't going anywhere" even if they may or may not be fibbing from a purely technical point of view.
