Minus Motorola officially releasing, what are potential upgrade paths to 6.01 in the future?
Same as 6.0 I would imagine

There is the Nougat Soak Test from Lenovo, and depending on your specific device model there are a plethora of Nougat based ROMs
Will project treble be available for older devices or it will only be made available for new released devices that launched with Android 8.0 Oreo?

All signs point to no for this phone. Moto left it off their list of devices getting oreo. It is very unlikely to get oreo and even less likely to get treble support. The Pure/Style might get a few more security patches, but I wouldn't even count on that. It is >2 years old and had 2 major OS updates; in the android world that makes it due for abandonment.
Only for Oreo out of the box.
Project Treble is enabled only for Oreo OOB device even OnePlus5T dosent support Treble bcoz it comes with N OOB.
Treble need a specify partition on the NAND, so manufacture need to set it up in factory, so NO for Style.
All I want is a official 7.1, but...
It ships with Android 6.0.
Is there an official Android 7.x or 8.x update?

The latest Samsung update is to 7.0. If you received one with stock 6, it should update OTA to 7.0. But if you have a custom ROM or recovery, you'd have to update manually.

But for Android 9 Pie, Who wants the new Android in this phone?

1) We just got Oreo on Quark. I think you should learn to use that first.
2) That Quark Oreo thread you referenced was started in August 2017. When did Quark get Oreo? July 2018.
It's now August 2018, and you are asking for Pie. So, look for Quark Pie in July 2019.
3) Also, like before only @bhb27 can code the necessary kernel for any Quark Pie. It's not who "wants" it, it's WHO can actually do it. Maybe @bhb27 wants to just work on his new Oreo kernel and ROM for awhile. Maybe he wants a different phone...
4) If you read the other thread you say this is based on, discussing it didn't really help bring Oreo any faster to Quark. It still all depended on @bhb27 actually doing the work, and doing it right. See point #2.

Just so I don't have to type everything over from the first thread, read this. In your mind just substitute "Pie" every time "Oreo" is mentioned, and substitute "Oreo" when "Nougat" is mentioned. SAME EXACT SITUATION A YEAR AGO:
AUGUST 24, 2017

It will take @bhb27 coding the current Motorola Marshmallow Quark kernel to Oreo -- the same way he coded it to work for Nougat.
Our previous CM dev @Skrilax_CZ did the original work back in early 2015, first coding Quark Motorola Kitkat kernel to work with Lollipop. Then when Lollipop Motorola source code was finally published he used actual Lollipop kernel in the CM releases. Once CM had a kernel for Quark, THEN other devs could "port" ROMs and just plug in the CM kernel.
@bhb27 started doing dev work about this time and released his own "custom" kernel with more features to complement the "stock" CM kernel @Skrilax_CZ coded. You could use 12.1 ROM (with Lollipop 5.1) with CM kernel or even RR Lollipop with CM kernel -- or use those ROMs and install @bhb27's custom kernel. But all the ROMs uses the CM (now LOS) kernel as "stock" kernel. It's what makes ALL the Quark ROMs possible in the first place.
(For our Quarks, even AOSP ROMs -- ALL ROMs -- use the CM kernel. They have to. There are no others. When Sunshine unlocked the Droid Turbo bootloader @Skrilax_CZ re-coded the Quark CM kernel to also work with XT1254 -- otherwise these custom ROMs would NOT be compatible for all Quarks. The kernel is the foundation.)
Then, when Motorola Marshmallow got released in late 2015, same thing. First a Lollipop kernel was coded to work with Marshmallow, then MONTHS later (July 2016, for XT1225) when Motorola released Marshmallow for Quark and then the kernel source code (September, October?) finally an actual Marshmallow kernel to work with Marshmallow. (Lollipop custom ROM for Quark beat official Motorola Lollipop and Quark Marshmallow custom ROM beat official Marshmallow by MONTHS.)
By this time @bhb27 had taken over all the kernel work, coding the basic "stock" kernel for all the Quark ROMs as well as his name-sake custom kernel.
When Nougat arrived, there was no official Nougat Quark kernel from Motorola -- so we had to keep using Marshmallow kernel. And @bhb27 did the work to let Nougat ROMs use that kernel.
Will be the same thing with Oreo. But @bhb27 still has to code it to work smoothly with Oreo.
Also, there is no more CM. We now have LOS as the "base". @bhb27 does not release official LOS ROMs, but that's where the device kernel files go that all devs pull from.
So, @bhb27 will use Marshmallow kernel in LOS Oreo tree to make a stock kernel for all ROMs. At that point he will release an Oreo ROM based on that work. (Right now he's the dev for both RR and crDroid ROMs. Last year he surprised us by releasing then-new Nougat crDroid first, whereas he had been dev for Marshmallow RR and Mokee, and RR was his favorite.)
@bhb27 will also probably release an advanced "standalone" custom kernel with more options, like he does now, but it's that base stock LOS kernel which is most important.
After he releases his Oreo kernel work, then other Quark devs can use that stock LOS Oreo Quark kernel to release their Oreo ROMs.
The kernel will be the foundation of any Oreo ROMs and it will all depend on @bhb27.
But don't pester him. It will be ready when it's ready.
__________
TLDR: @bhb27 is the man. He'll do the Oreo-compatible stock kernel first and then the first Oreo custom ROM. Everyone else will then follow with other ROMs.

Hope @bhb27 works on Android 9 pie as well.
once more Thanks @bhb27 your knowledge and Hard work never cease to amaze me :good::victory::victory:
I think it best to focus on android Oreo.
I'm running stock Oreo, the official one. I'm wondering how to I upgrade to android 10?is it possible? If not how do I upgrade to stock pie?

There's no Android 10 ROM for moto G4, yet . For android pie you will have to unlock bootloader and flash a pie ROM because there's no official Android Pie from the company.

Coming soon Android 10 ROMs, which are having problems with the ARM / ARM64 builds. I suggest you use the ArrowOS Pie ARM
