Who is the arbiter of when this exception applies? It sounds unworkable to me, or at least it isn't going to lead to any kind of consistency. Perhaps the vendor should always be a formal part of the name, and always present in place which constitute an ABI (like DTB filenames) but can be omitted by default in other places (such as wiki page names), unless there is ambiguity (in which case it's included). The rationale there is that things like wiki page names can be changed and redirects used etc while ABIs cannot, but that ABIs aren't so "user visible" (i.e. I don't care what the filename is, it's just in the environment).
