Unfortunately names get baked into things, so it's not as easy to change as just saying "let's change". "x86_64" is what Linux 'uname' and the gcc triplet naming conventions use, so that's what I go with, because it's the closest there is to a "standard" name in the software ecosystem I spend most time in.
