Nick filed issue #23966 to document these changes. Yes, these tags should be 
documented, so that installers don't have to guess (currently they are only 
exposed in importlib.machinery.EXTENSION_SUFFIXES. 

What you describe as a "simple idea" is just another hack, only addressing the 
issue on x86 platforms, not addressing this for soft-float/hard-float calling 
conventions, not addressing this for endianness, not addressing this for other 
platform ABIs. And for all these cases there are machines where you can run the 
variants on the same machine.  If you like to call this "a mess", fine. But 
this is reality.  I'm not creating this mess,  I'm describing this and exposing 
it to the interpreter.
