Should platform value "chromeos" be "cros" or what does the Googler's prefer? #21

I'm not "Google", just speaking as a regular user: IMHO it should be an as descriptive as possible string like "Chrome OS" or "ChromeOS" (or lowercased).

This url https://www.google.com/chromebook/chrome-os/ uses "chrome-os" so maybe "chrome-os"

Where is this listed? I don't see it in the Manifest spec or https://github.com/w3c/manifest/wiki/Platforms

What would it be used for? I think of "platforms" as app platforms, not operating systems. So we don't have a concept of a "Chrome OS app", we just have web apps and Android apps.

If we do need a string for Chrome OS somewhere, I would prefer "chromeos" which is the ID that we use for the OS build target in the code.

I think we can keep it as "chromeos" then.
