Is it meant to be an amalgam of 'solution' and '-ify'?

Can you differentiate between other similar already in use terms like 'yak shaving' http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/yak_shaving or 'bikeshedding' http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bikeshedding ?

Also, 'analysis paralysis' seems to be a related concept.
I would go farther and say that its not that analysis paralysis is a related concept, but that the concept here is a special case of analysis paralysis.
