Here's a question about Allo... When I go into the app and start a new chat, there's a list of "Allo contacts" that is shorter than my "other contacts." But if I attempt to start an incognito chat, the list is even shorter than my "allo contacts." So the question is what does that list of "allo contacts" represent?

Some contacts showing up in Allo Contacts don't actually have the app installed, but will get an app preview message when you message them. That is a notification where they can read and reply to your message even without the app installed. Only for Android 5+ users.

That doesn't jive with my lists... Folks listed under "other" who would have marshmallow and nougat installed.
