My apologies if this has been discussed to death elsewhere.
It is not often that this situation happens, and usually we take a
second look at the type of update going in, and whether or not it would
be suitable as an update to a stable Fedora release. Alas we cannot
always detect this before the push goes live (autoqa will fix this, I
hope).
I do not know if the stale multilib version gets cleaned up or not. I
think there is some code to handle it at anaconda upgrade time where
this type of scenario is more likely to occur.
