[Bug 1483159] Re: Canonical naming for non-x86 architectures

[James Page]

I don't think its unreasonable to map well know architecture names used
by distributions into something OpenStack understands - this is not
'every possible way' - its if the user makes and (somewhat
understandable) choice of using the Ubuntu/Debian architecture name for
their image.
