From my understanding is the assumption behind your proposed naming is every architecture will do hyperlaunch differently. That might be the case between x86 and arm today. But I would hope we can have the same features across x86 and arm in the future.
Furthermore, I highly doubt that RISC-V/PowerPC will also invent their own version of Hyperlaunch. Instead, they would likely re-use one of the existing implementations.
So I think using the architecture in the name is a short-sighted idea. If you want to differentiate the two implementations, then it would be better to use a second word that describe best the feature.
This will avoid yet another round of re-branding discussion :). Cheers, -- Julien Grall
