Historical reasons, maybe. Users may be using the chip name filtering
feature of sensors(1) in scripts for example, renaming "isa" to
"platform" would break these for ISA/LPC chips. So the change would
make the upgrade path slightly more difficult.
I don't know if this reason is good enough to not do it, though. I
wonder what other developers and users think about the idea? Anyone
wants to argue in one direction or the other? This is the right time.
