Distros of distros are the name of the game in the Linux world; just check out the Big List. I see nothing wrong with having lots of choices.

But yeah, we'll have to see how Sailfish turns out. If it ends up being just another (walled garden) Android, that'll be kinda disheartening. If it ends up being just another Android and becomes far more popular than Mer, that'll be even more disheartening...
