Please excuse my ignorance if this is a naive comment or has been brought up before. With all the non amd processors now with 64bit support. amd64 as a keyword seems a bit odd and off maybe.
I think we'd already discussed this a while back, and decided not to change it. (I don't remember the final reasons though)
I for one don't really care, except that "x86_64" is longer to type than "amd64" ;) That's the only reason I could find.
