Yes, we know, it's different from what the toolchain and kernel use. As
it happens, so is i386. Of course, in the kernel menu that users see
it's:
AMD-Opteron/Athlon64
Intel x86-64
Generic-x86-64
Guess they must be pimping everyone. Of course, I hope that on the
ports page, regardless of the port name we use, it points out that the
architecture was developed by AMD. Hell, if we *didn't* say that people
would have good reason to wonder about us and our motives.
