Because I am maintaining packages and the choosen combination is not as
consistent as one might assume. For example, it is not the plain OS
name, but how config.guess wants to mangle it. E.g. for NetBSD on i386,
it will end up using netbsdelf. The other point was the directory
choosing the version/ABI combination should be at the top, not the
bottom. This is also a usability question in the even that you really
want to mix them, as it makes it far easier to compare subtrees.
