Hardcoding a name that may change in the future, and that is really
painful to change is not a good idea.
And anyone seeing 'system' or 'os' may figure out that it's where the
system files are, but to figure out that 'haiku' is where system files
are you need to know that haiku is also an OS not just poetry.
The Haiku name should be used were it has a purpose, holding system
files isn't one of them IMO.
