"OpenVMS I64" as an abbreviation for "OpenVMS Industry Standard 64" is
the official marketing name for VMS on Itanium and always has been.  I
don't see the reason for the facepalm as the only people who thought it
meant something else weren't paying attention to what Intel and HP/HPE
were doing.

The name of the hardware architecture, on the other hand has always been
IA64, and that is reflected in various places, such as:

$ write sys$output f$getsyi("arch_name")
IA64
$ write sys$output f$getsyi("NODE_HWTYPE")
IA64
