Native Client is not a Google thing anymore

Google publicly announced in May of 2017 the (then-)upcoming deprecation and abandonment of Native Client technologies in favor of WebAssembly, and announced the actual deprecation in 2020. But Google also supported Native Client-powered ChromeOS 138 until ChromeOS 139 in July of 2025 and as such continued developpement of some Native Client technologies. This extra development materialized in the maintenance of the loader and a toolchain named Saigo, frequently rebased on the latest LLVM upstream at the time. The loader received commits from Google until April of 2025, while Saigo received commits from Google until January of 2025 and the last rebase was over Clang 21.

Nothing about Native Client should be expected from Google anymore.
