Hi Evans, The distribution maintainers (aka implementors of the packaging i.e. rpm, apt) chose the values.
For instance check a random package at debian https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=bash&searchon=names&suite=stable§ion=all vs fedora https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1092856 You will see ppc64el rather ppc64le (IMHO this was a miscommunication when the first implementation was done.) and so on..
