right the way its implemented it could be used to overwrite things like
making a uefi only livecd on a non uefi system or for different ppc
system types.  I do only see it being used initially for ARM but its
not implemented so that its the only way to use it. id rather not
rename it but if you insist that is how its done ill do it.
