Interestingly, as of this morning, it appears as though the Microsoft Certification Guidance Team has not yet been briefed on the change:

Abc: Hello, I'm Abc with the Microsoft Certification Guidance Team.

...

Brian: Many people had the MCM as their goal, now what?

Abc: We still have masteral for SQL Server 2012. But it is now called as MCSM.

...

Brian: I had assumed that was included in the MCM expirations.

Brian: MCxM

Abc: No it is not, they just changed the name/certification title.
