Or maybe we shouldn't. If so, we should also rename "macosx" to "macos".

Alternatively, we can accept that the best we can do is to have a name 
that's not ambiguous, clearly states what it is about, is not misleading 
(that was one of the main complaints about the old "sparcWorks"; it was 
not about sparc, it was about solaris). And hope that marketing let us 
keep our good names in sync with the marketing names used, as long as 
possible.
