Meta is the marketing name, metag is generally used in code which reduces ambiguity with the word meta - tbh I'm not certain whether metag is short for metagence or means something else, but it's been that way for years now. http://lwn.net/Articles/534906/ > if so, do we want > to make it easier to find them for people? Where would you suggest? Some other arches link to the linux-$ARCH project homepages in Kconfig help text which makes sense as that can then link to various documentation and be more easily kept up to date. Not all arches have a big project around them like that though.
