I find this choice of name particularly egregious. It's not just the existence of current projects [1] and common use in technology prior [2], but the source.
Twitter, being Twitter could call this whatever they wanted.
"Yolk" or whatever would make just as many front pages.
I don't see how "Fabric" can do anything but serve someone inside Twitter who likes the name while being inconvenient / irrelevant to everyone else.
