What is "i386" and why does it have a subpackage of "rtems4.7"?

So?  We are free to make decisions for ourselves instead of blindly
using someone else's naming convention.  If the name is completely
confusing (as it is to me) then surely we should talk about it before
just stuffing it into the repository.  We have no guidelines for this
kind of thing, so it warrants discussion.  This is the proper list for
such discussion, right?

There doesn't seem to be any other part of the package name that would
suggest such.
