Parrot Plovercrest A-C 4619 is the Google designation for Chrome OS 25.xxxx on my Acer C7 Chromebook once it was running Chrome OS solely. Today, under Chrubuntu by Jay Lee's design and build, there's still a lot of residual Plovercrest unpleasant chirping can be heard once in a while, here and there: F1....F7 keys don't work, BT doesn't really work, internal speakers still just chirping, etc.
There's no such bird as "parrot clovercrest", so chances are a certain compiler construction kit (Parrot) was used to make Plovercrest chirp more effectively.
Whatever other birds the Chrome OS development moves to, it doesn't really matter without ability to run local programs. As for choice of Linux distributions for C7, I'm full of hope there will be some builds based, say, on Fedora (like Acer supported Linpus for Acer Aspire One), or Linux Mint LXDE (Debian), or Arch Linux, or Gentoo. I just don't see much of consistency and stability in Ubuntu builds. Kernels of maturity below 3.4 are quite suspicious, too.
However, Chrubuntu remains a very good jailbreak still, and for "caged" Chromeosers, here's your song while slurping some syrup:
