It might be helpful to look for some precedent for this kind of thing

But there must be other examples. Maybe CHRP?
The ISA symbol on PPC indeed depends on CHRP.
But e.g. my LongTrail didn't have ISA slots.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
