So I take it from that that you don't think this is a good reason?
The way I see it, this looks like a big and ugly mistake we're not even
trying to fix. So sticking with it doesn't seem to be appropriate IMO.

I'll make sure that all the wiki pages are updated according to the
changes, so that nobody has to suffer from it (that is, except for a few
build scripts that have the targets hardcoded).

Well, what's great with free software is that I can actually do whatever
I want with my development time, I don't owe it to anybody to do
anything. As most of us, I'm doing this on my free time and so I work on
what I'm interested in.

Of course, I agree about moving to device model and I will most
certainly work on improving the situation on that side as soon as I have
the time for it.

But I also like to fix things that annoy me in the software I use and
boy oh boy does this annoy me. This kind of lack of consistency is what
gives an overall impression of untidiness and lack of seriousness and it
bothers me a lot (this is of course just an impression, the technical
side matches high quality standards IMO).
