This is really interesting project, and after taking a little bit of time to look it over, there are a couple of things that I have noticed:

1. It's not entirely clear how to use this. Is XobotOS a replacement for Android, or is it something that can be shipped as a standard application? In my limited time reading the documentation on the GitHub page, this was not clear to me.

2. It looks like a it is a terminated research project, to quote the README:

This code is provided as-is, and we do not offer support for any bits of code here, nor does Xamarin plan on continuing evolving XobotOS at this point.

From the blog post, it sounds like they are integrating some of this technology in their products, but XobotOS is otherwise just a code dump. As such, unless someone is really interested in this, it doesn't seem like it's going to go anywhere.
