This is then plan except that I prefer calling it "any" than "noarch" :)

No need to change the package name for that.

If you want the package name to reflect the real abi it will be from far too
long :)

The indication is in the the repository metadata, it is enough most of the =
time,
if we are on adding it to the package name what do you want to see in ?
OS?
majorversion?
arch?
32/64bits?
incompatible abi/extension?

You will get the same problem that I'm trying to solve except that it will =
gives
you very very long package names.
