This is not a bug, but IMHO an unfortunate choice.
Think at the potential user of the os.arch property.
Beside printing pretty messages, it will probably be
used to identify a specific architecture, like Intel's one.
How would you code a function like:

   boolean isIntelArch() {
   }

If everybody puts slightly different values in there?
