Same thing. Remington is now calling it the .17 Remington Fireball... although, if you are a die-hard Ackley reader, you'll always call it the Mach IV!
After reading some of his stuff a few summers ago, and buying a .17 HMR, my curiosity got the best of me, and I was about to order a barrel for my Encore when Remington legitamized the round. Haven't heard much on how its doing. Although, if they would chamber some inexpensive rifles in the caliber so the masses could afford them, I suspect they'd gain the reputation the rimfires have in such a short time.
