Basically, what you're saying is that the ArchSpec alone is not sufficient to select the right platform. Instead of punching right through the layers, could we just give more information (which I guess would be the system architecture) to the functions responsible for selecting the right plugin? Then they could do the regular ask-each-plugin-if-it-wants-to-handle-it dance. The host plugin would say "I don't handle processes with system-arch=*-ios" and then we would go around until we find the remote-ios plugin saying "I live for debugging ios systems"?

[I must admit that I have a bit of an ulterior motive for suggesting this -- I also have a use case where the ArchSpec is not sufficient to select the best platform, but I've struggled to formulate it in a way that makes sense upstream. The system architecture is not relevant for my case (what I'd really need is to inspect the details of the executable being debugged -- mainly its path, but possibly also some other bits), but if we open the door to more elaborate platform selection, then I might be able to squeeze this in as well.
