Values here neither match the common convention for Linux / Debian arch, e.g. not matching what's reported by uname -m, nor match what Node.js os.arch() API would have reported; nor what Rust architecture uses for the standard set of arch.... For different languages - you'd have different strings. And none of them would match the list proposed here 😄 So it's going to be quite an adventure to normalize to that proposed list 🤷

I believe a better set could be this:

Architecture Applies to
x86 x86, wow64, i386, i486, etc.
amd64 x86_64, amd64, x64
arm32 arm32
arm64 arm64, aarch64
ppc32 32-bit PowerPC
ppc64 64-bit PowerPC
ia64 Itanium
other indistinguishable, or not listed here. Architecture as reported by the language of choice without normalizing it / without bringing it to common denominator.

C++, Rust, or Node - typically have their own API to obtain the process arch string. This string is going to be in their own common format. For Node - this list is well-described here: https://nodejs.org/api/os.html#os_os_arch - I personally believe Node's list is quite reasonable.

More complete set of architectures is described here in Linux kernel tree:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/arch

If you truly intend to describe the host arch , it would be reasonable to respect the Linux standard names for the archs, as the most prominent host OS. That's also what uname -m command would typically report, namely [arm|arm64|ia64|mips|x86]. I would've left the loophole in this list to allow reporting what OS language-specific API reports as architecture. Any data analysis within a slice of data reported by agents written in specific language is consistent: a language (e.g. node) would report only a fixed set of archs. There is also not going to be any need to normalize.

I don't like this proposed list because it does not seem to align with the arch lists typically captured by prominent language APIs, neither matches the Linux kernel arch list.

This looks so much better. Go has a similar approach here. I initially wanted to propose something more aligned with uname but the formatting of OS names made me want to follow the UPPER_CASE style here. I'm modifying this PR in a bit.
