I'd prefer consistency.  I really don't like any of the options we've
got but I'm trying to view 9.0 as a "clean break" (we're being forced
into making at least *some* changes due to the improved build
infrastructure and the appearance of powerpc64) during which we should
do what we can to avoid needing to change things down the road.  After
all the dust settles (people have a chance to get used to it) I picture
a higher percentage of people being confused about why some
architectures have one name while other architectures have two versus
people being confused about all of them having two names.
