Why is this not the default queryformat for x86_64? It would cut down on a lot of confusion and noise for those new to the x86_64 platform. And I do not see what it would hurt to make it default in all cases if it complicates things to make it default for only x86_64. It's fairly simple to add this to your .rpmmacros, but the people who will know to do this will already know about the dual-arch stuff.
Because changing the expected output of rpm -q is a bad bad thing. Don't do that. Of course people shouldn't be screen scraping the output or relying on it w/out doing their own --qf for ensured stability, people do anyway, and we'd rather not break all their scripts.
