Or use "abi" instead of "personality", if nothing else it's shorter to

What the spec etc syntax for that would be I dunno, maybe just
"Requires: foo%{_abi}" which would expand to foo(<abi name>), eg
foo(ppc32). Or something like that.
Does that make sense to others, or am I just out to luch as usual? ;)
Well I like personality because it does match other things that are
trying to express the same thing.
I don't like abi because we're already using that for things like
python(abi) to express a certain level of ABI from an application stack
rather than a CPU.
Actually... isn't this thing we're talking about called "instruction set
architecture"?
Requires: foo%{_isa}
Now that'd be a compact, to-the-point technical term which doesn't need
extra qualifiers to point out we're not talking about anybody's mental
qualities.
