That's generally how features are encoded on ARM, though. Like how
'ARMv5, Thumb, Extended DSP instructions' is encoded as 'armv5te' and
not as 'armv5_thumb_edsp'.
Right now, the rpm arch name for ARMv5TE little-endian is is
'armv5tel', and it would be kind of weird to have the Thumb and EDSP
capabilities encoded as single letters but to have VFP encoded as
_vfp in the same arch name.
[ replying to self ] On the other hand, VFP is not a core CPU
feature (and doesn't get encoded in the arch name), so this is a
bit of a non-argument.
