BTW, what does that nomenclature mean and signify? Is it similar at all to 
the "o32" "n64" terms used for IRIX back in the day? What does the "n" and 
"o" stand for, "new" and "old" ? Does that mean one day there will be a 
mips64 without an "n" in there?

I've always been a bit curious about that.
