Is there a reason why the model is being changed? I'm worried this change might break compatibility with other OS's.
Which OSs in particular? These two models are from the same era and quite similar to each other. See here:

QEMU emulates a G4 CPU for which PowerMac3,1 is a better match and also this is supported by MorphOS while the iMac with a G3 that the previous model referred to is not. I don't think it matters for other OSs but if you know about one please tell us.
