Because we use the upstream avr-gcc in this patched avr-core. And if we use "arduino" this will cause problems as this would overwrite the default core. This caused me lots of trouble while debugging. This way users can use our upstream avr-core while still using the older arduino provided core via board manager download. Thatswhy it has to have a different name.
