npub183n8fp0xavfvuejszsfzkf44af77j6xfgmk33k2whm7ktflcr4jqswtahh (npub183n…tahh) The annoying thing is that when the architecture family was first introduced we encoded its name into ABI and non-breakable (at least not easily) interfaces. That's why we can't change it now. Yes, doing so would be more correct, but it would also be an insane amount of work to ultimately change a word.
(so even newer stuff like AppStream encodes i386 to be compatible with decades of deeply hardcoded names - I tried to change it, and it ultimately wasn't worth the breakage)
