Hello!
If I've started a war here, I apologize.
An ARM version of LL would satisfy both Chromebook and Pi users. However, from my understanding, ARM is quite different from x86 architecture - which I guess is why it took awhile for Ubuntu to come out with an ARM version.
Perhaps if there was an ARM version of Xubuntu, LL for ARM would be more of a possibility. Even so, a considerable amount of additional financial support for LL would be necessary for something like that to actually happen. People would need sample devices to test it on, and such a project would require enough extra development manpower to not adversely affect supporting LL's core user base.
In a nutshell, if enough folks believed in it strongly enough to fund its development, it would be possible. In the 15 months I've been hanging out here, I've seen this OS grow by leaps and bounds...

A gun in your hand is worth more than a whole police force on the phone.
