crouton is now EOL

Thanks for being such a supportive community over past 12 years!
On the pragmatic side, I hope you have found this project helpful at
enhancing your hardware's longetivity and utility.
I also hope that crouton has inspired at least some of you to keep an
eye out for all the potential that lies just beyond the garden walls.

And now I'll leave you with these words of wisdom: you can have a hard
shell and a soft soul, but when things heat up and pieces start to
crumble, that's when you know...you're toast

wait that's actually really dark, scratch that please disregard

 # crouton: Chromium OS Universal Chroot Environment
 
 crouton is a set of scripts that bundle up into an easy-to-use,
-Chromium OS-centric chroot generator. Currently Ubuntu and Debian are
-supported (using debootstrap behind the scenes), but "Chromium OS Debian,
-Ubuntu, and Probably Other Distros Eventually Chroot Environment" doesn't
-acronymize as well (crodupodece is admittedly pretty fun to say, though).
-
-### crouton is now maintenance-only
-
-This means that:
- * Only bugfix and release list PRs will be accepted.
- * New distro releases will be added to the list as unsupported.
- * As xenial is EOL, crouton will (at some point) no longer have a default
-   release. You will always have to specify `-r`.
- * Bugs without updates in the past year will be bulk-closed with a "stale" tag.
- * Open PRs will be left open but have the "stale" tag added. If anyone who
-   forks crouton wants to pick up the feature work, they can build right off of
-   those PRs.

+### 🪦 crouton is now end-of-life 🪦
+
+All good things must come to an end, and considering
+ * Chromium OS's introduction of increasingly strict shell safeguards,
+ * the [change in cras's build tools](https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/issues/4958),
+ * the [removal of manifest v2 extensions](https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/pull/5094),
+ * the [removal of PNaCl, breaking xiwi](https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/issues/5130),
+ * oh, and Chromium OS being replaced by Android
+
+there's really not much to gain from continued development. Put another way, the
+proverbial mixed salad is just about out of tasty crunchy bits, and the
+remaining morsels have gone a bit stale. And for some reason someone's about to
+swap all the lettuce out for onion rings? Point is, it's time to stop mixing
+dressings. Unless it's ranch, I guess, since that goes with just about anything.
+But this is crouton, not some Ready-for-Android Native Chroot Host, alas.
+
+Anyway, this means that:
+ * The repo is now locked, and no further changes will be considered.
+ * Eventually someone will want the latest Ubuntu added to the release list. See
+   [this commit](https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/commit/6d80f57b91c39d10b29fde861aac5a2b5b9b3910)
+   for an example of how to do it on your own copy.
+ * Sometime around July 2025, the GitHub project will be archived, making the
+   issue tracker, discussions, and wiki read-only.
  * For the safety of users and stability of crouton's functionality for those on
-   EOL devices, offers to take over the dnschneid/crouton repo or Chrome
-   extension will be declined, and requests to change link destinations will be
-   rejected. If you would like to continue feature work on crouton, fork it, do
-   a good job of it, and people can choose to use it at their own risk.

+   EOL devices, offers to take over the dnschneid/crouton repo or extension will
+   be declined, and requests to change link destinations will be rejected.
+
+If you have an EOL device, though, crouton is still a great match for you!
+ * Chromium OS version 110 and earlier, everything should work! Breathe new life
+   into your old devices!!
+ * Starting 111, crouton can't compile cras, so audio devices cannot be shared
+   with Chromium OS
+ * Starting 117, sudo in crosh is disabled and you'll need to use VT-2
+ * Starting 133 (139 for enterprise devices), manifest v2 is disabled and you
+   won't be able to run the extension (easy switching, clipboard sync, xiwi)
+ * Also starting 133 (139 for enterprise devices), pnacl is disabled, so even if
+   you somehow got the extension working, xiwi won't function
+ * Beyond that, it's anybody's guess as to what will break
+
+## Moving right along...
