it is when we want to provide a multilib environment when folks shouldn't have
to think about it. Our users should have to jump through hoops when they
want to run some 32bit app. It should Just Work. That's IMHO a big reason
why we are installing both arches by default. The folks that really CARE
about being pure lib are the ones that would have the ability to fiddle with
some bits in a yumconf file.
