Unfortunately, it is not that simple to just replace everything with x86.
Sad, but true.

2) Changing names on files or directories (unfortunately) makes version control harder. If files are to be moved around all over the place anyway with Jigsaw, we might as well fix some names. It is not clear if it's worth the effort to rename files before such a major restructuring.
Agreed. Not only will Jigsaw restructure the source tree, but it will change the layout of $JRE/lib and make other changes that will, no doubt, affect some existing code. If we're going to fix all our old arch names, that would be the right time to do it.
