Comment (by erikd):

 Replying to [comment:2 rwbarton]:
 > Personally I don't find `("Unregisterised", "NO")` confusing;

 I'm hitting it all the time because I'm working on both armhf which is
 "registerised" and aarch64 which currently isn't (working on that).
 `("Unregisterised", "YES")` doesnt give me much trouble, but *every* time
 I see `("Unregisterised", "NO")` I have a huge double take and have to
 think about it.

 > unregisterised builds are enabled by `--enable-unregisterised`, we don't
 talk about disabling registerised-ness.

 No, but `--disable-ghc-calling-convention` is far more obvious than what
 we have now. Its also makes it more obvious that `ghc-calling-convention`
 is the *default*.
