And by that I mean:

I've been proposing this change for quite some time now, and nobody 
bothered to argue for or against it.  More recently, Matt did a quick 
poll at the summer of code mentors' summit and the outcome was slightly 
in favor of x86_64.  Also, various build problems with pkgsrc originate 
from our amd64 machine/platform name.  That's why we decided to bite the 
bullet now, before many people are starting to use the x86_64 port.  I'm 
sorry if you feel left out, but there is no point stalling this decision 
without proper reasons.  And for sure there is no reason to back out a 
change singlehandedly without any sort of discussion, especially if 
backing out that change means that users have a hard time following it.

I've temporarily revoked your access to crater, since you seem to have 
attitude problems with our project and I fear that you might go rogue 
again.  You've loudly voiced backing out devfs before, and back then I 
already was concerned that you might do this without proper reason and 
discussion.  We're a peaceful project, and I really like the way it 
works.  By just backing out a big change without discussion, you're 
adding hostility, which we should avoid as much as possible.  I am 
convinced that we can keep this project civil and cozy - it's up to you 
to decide whether you want to be part of that, or whether you want to 
feed aggression into it.

cheers

        This reverts commit c1543a890188d397acca9fe7f76bcd982481a763.
        I'm reverting it because:
        1) the change didn't get properly discussed
        2) it was based on false premises:
            "The rest of the world seems to call amd64 x86_64."
        3) no pkgsrc bulk build was done to test the change
        4) the original committer acted irresponsibly by committing
           such a big change just before going on vacation.
