That’s a bigger change than the one already done, so more likely to break more scripts.

But also, your change loses information.  “WOW64” didn’t mean “32-bit Cygwin,” it meant “32-bit Cygwin *on* 64-bit Windows.”  32-bit Cygwin on 32-bit Windows just says “CYGWIN_NT-10.0”, just like 64-on-64.

If you want to know bitness, you need to test via uname -m.
