As Jaffa indicated earlier in the thread, Ilmatar fits as an OS release codename. As Android uses desserts and Symbian^3 uses feminine names, Maemo used named winds. Bora, Chinook, Diablo, (Elephanta), Fremantle, (Gregale), and Harmattan were all Maemo OS codenames. Prior to the merge into MeeGo, Ilmatar had been mentioned (by qgil) as a likely name for the Maemo release following Harmattan.

The hardware codenames are different. The N900 is Rover.

"Gregale" had been used for Maemo 2.2 prior to Nokia switching to making the wind names progress alphabetically.
"Elephanta" was folded into Fremantle.
