For whatever purpose the WSJ were given a story to print, and to me at least, it makes sense. The memo from April quoted in the Register article and others, made a mention of staff from the Meego team moving to the meltemi project. That would be the Meego Harmattan team, that was previously the maemo fremantle team, and others previously.
Maybe it's for future disruptions, or maybe they've taken a look at maemo fremantle running on the n900, and the popularity amongst reviewers of meego harmattan on the n9, and thought, "hey if we get some low end hardware [as maybe the n900 can be considered in the modern market context] and stick this linux crap on, maybe we can shift some devices", and then leaked that info around the time that Tizen was announced.

The name will be OK, just like Meego is now, and Tizen will be too.
It's not about name why it may fail. Fragmentation will be the reason why they fail.
Linux Foundation should be stronger and bring different players together, and shouldn't accept excuses like for example what Debian&Ubuntu gives against them starting to use rpm and retire deb.

Technically they are equal, but aren't, RPM supports transactions.
Secure wise they are equal, but aren't, because in practice the embedded GPG signatures in RPM is a better security policy.
