Hi all,
PR 5850 is proposing to add a predefined (reserved) version identifier
for the PS4 OS: "PS4" [1].
Thanks for your comment (preferably with an alternative suggestion in
case you don't like "PS4").
Thanks,

"PS4" is really quite short.
"PlayStation4" would be far better that way it isn't an acronym.
As the "author"(?) of that pull request I would love to get a discussion
going.
PS4 vs Orbis vs PlayStation4 so far.
The reason I went for the acronym is that all other tools I could find
with a reference to PS4 used the acronym, I guess that is a bad reason
though.
I am open to making another pullrequest with another identifier as long
as we can get a general consensus about which one to use.
The precedent is to use whatever the OS defines for the host C compiler.
This is the reason we have lower case "linux" for version, which is
inconsistent with other version identifiers, but consistent with Linux's
#define in C code.
So if Sony uses PS4 as a define, I think that's logical to use for the
version statement.
