RT is merging with WP8 because they handle the exact same thing, just one does it small (WP) and the other does it large (RT). They SHOULD have be the same OS from the beginning.
Instead the existence of RT just came about because WP was kind of on its own, while MS wanted to take advantage of ARM tech for tablets and I guess they felt they should scale down Win8 x86 to do it as opposed to scale up WP. The scaling up of WP was slowly coming and I think that was the problem, WP progress has been SLOW SLOW SLOW. So now they're at the point that they're combining the two OS's together so in the end the ideal situation would be Win8 desktop (x86) and Win8 tablet/phone (ARM).
RT isn't dying but at this point we don't know quite know If WP is becoming RT or if RT is becoming WP. I leaning towards the former thought with how Win8.1/WP8.1 is coming. along.
