We could make that change, yes.

(I think this is secondary compared to the change you proposed to make,
which is to rename ‘i686-linux’ (the variable) to something else.  I
think the variable name must match the system type, and the system type
is non-negotiable because it’s what lets Guix distinguish between
derivations for two different hardware platforms.)
