I remember a discussion about it some time ago.
The issue with this approach was that os.arch tells only the JVM arch, not
really OS arch.
If there is a strong use case for these properties, we would have to be
careful with the javadocs. Right now the javadocs don't explicitly tell the
user that it is the JVM arch, and not the OS arch.
Other approaches involve reflection or JNI, to find out the OS arch, but I
think that is a bit too tricky to get it done correctly.
