That bubble can burst quite quickly though, depending on how the complete packages compare in the coming months...

From a technical & governance POV Sailfish has been more interesting for the longest time, but it ultimately comes down to how well it's all tied together.
Tizen had at least 4mth head start & has been backed by 2 massive organisations**, assuming both products are out at roughly the same time, I'd expect Tizen to be more polished OOTB.
Better offering overall is another matter entirely though, that won't become much clearer until both devices have been out for at least 1mth.

Longer-term if barely anyone else rolls out low to high end Tizen devices, then at least Samsung can keep churning them out.
Jolla doesn't have that luxury, they'll have to rely on more OEM partners stepping-up & joining the Sailfish Alliance....

I think maybe you missed the thread of the conversation I was addressing: If Jolla has the idea to try to steal attention away from Samsung or Google I/O, I sincerely doubt they will succeed. To that end, it might even make them look bad because 1) it's obvious that they're trying to steal attention and 2) if fewer people turn up at their event or even pay attention to their announcement, they will have ruined their opportunity to capture a larger crowd when they HAVE some availability instead of making them choose one over the other event.
