The problem is the same here, though. We can't e.g. go chaning the value 
of os.arch or the names of binaries and libraries. It does not really 
matter that you want to limit it to one platform. In fact, it would be 
easier if you ask "can we clean up the platform name mess of binaries?" 
rather than "can we clean up platform X?".
