That's more or less what was proposed back then.

I'm not sure how all the options will be laid out, but we'll need some
documentation outlining precisely what each one means and how they
behave, so that others can extend it without having to look at the
source code.

Also, we can hide most complexity on the default configurations for
each target (like you do on {arch}-ellcc-{env}).

Maybe this would be a good BoF for the US LLVM Meeting?
