I think the name makes perfect sense. You can't necessarily run it on another architecture, so that's what most important to know. And consider: the user will probably never need to run it manually, so for that purpose there is no difference between xmonad-arch-os or os-arch-xmonad or whatever - but when it gets in the way of tab completion (it has enough times to bother me and I think Shacaf also mentioned it bugging him), the user definitely does notice!

As for why - this patch is one of a number of patches trying to make the world safe for shell users.
