Well, I think that would make sense if the Mer project didn't want to
stay close to Tizen if possible, integrating Tizen features. Mer as a
standalone project can take these directions unilaterally, where it
would be more difficult to make it happen in another project. That
doesn't mean that efforts on some parts cannot be shared (the same way
like with Tizen), but IMO, the direction, philosophy and basis of Mer
as I undestand it justify that it stays independent.
