This one would probably be x86/x86_64 , as Mike said drop amd64.

(Tho I much prefer amd64, or if it's changed, something else without a _, 
which is hard to type, at least on the US/qwerty layout, requiring both 
hands to get the shift, and two rows up plus over to get the _, amd64 
works quite nicely in that regard.)

Don't forget current amd64/no-multilib.  I guess that's be

* x86/x86_64/no-multilb

(Tho again, I'd prefer keeping amd64, for x86/amd64/no-multilib.)

And presumably there's also be

* x86/x32/no-multilib
