What about ProcessorArchitecture?

#18320 (comment)

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

The obsolete parameters should be marked obsolete via documentation (and hidden if possible from tab completion) but not removed (since they don't break things, and removing them might break existing scripts).

Optionally, when a value is provided, the cmdlet can output a warning that these fields don't work correctly in modern PowerShell. NOTE: this is for DotnetFrameworkVersion and CLRVersion which legitimately don't work.

Finally, I think it would be great if we could not put the commented out text for these in the psd1 (when there's no value passed in to the parameter).

What about ProcessorArchitecture?

Surely there are PowerShell modules that don't/only work on ARM? But I don't know if this one works or not.

However, at the very least, I think it would be useful to have all the parameters that are rarely used and are complicated to get right ... just not output in the PSD1 unless they have a value. The commented out lines aren't useful. That's at least these:

• ProcessorArchitecture
• PowerShellHostName
• PowerShellHostVersion
• FileList
• DefaultCommandPrefix

I also tried to find at least one module with ProcessorArchitecture with a non-empty value on GitHub, but I couldn't.
