Keeping asking won't make it happen, I have explained a large number of tim=
e why it
happened, why it is not easy for compatibility and why uname -p is still not
representing the ABI we do support, and what flexibility we need that the
current string offers to us.

if one is willing to do the work, please be my guess, just dig into the arc=
hives
and join the pkg development otherwise: no it won't happen before a while
because we have way too much work on the todo and this item is stored at the
very end of this todo.

regards,
Bapt
