The problem with trying to build an abbreviation is that it doesn't
sufficiently differentiate between "A Linux distribution built to run in
S/390 architecture, but which runs on S/390 and zSeries boxes or
equivalent" (ON) and "A Linux distribution built to run in z/Architecture,
including 64-bit addressing mode, that runs only on zSeries boxes or
equivalent" (FOR).
