PoS
Ya, yescrypt and also yespower which is a derivative for PoW, does it so we can just use that code or fork it. Also we would need a new idea to keep it CPU viable forever, and I discovered a way to do that, simply increase the required memory size (called memory hardness) with moore's law.

Proposed Dogecoin Scaling Roadmap
If energy usage / asic unavailability due to chip shortage becomes a serious issue and is causing potential centralization, consider change of PoW algorithm to ProgPoW which is a well developed ASIC resistant GPU friendly hashing algorithm. If energy use or GPU availability becomes a major concern, there is always the CPU algo Yespower.

If XMR is designed to be GPU resilient, why we have xmrig-cuda module?
A large common subset of native hardware instructions exists among different CPU architectures. The same cannot be said about GPUs. For example, there is no common integer multiplication instruction for NVIDIA and AMD GPUs [2].
What are some alternatives?
When comparing yespower and ProgPOW you can also consider the following projects:
py-cryptonight - Python Cryptonight binding / extension. Monero hash function, proof-of-work, cn_slow_hash()
