Why are the contents of rawhide different for amd-64 than for ia-32?

[John Summerfield]

I've just mirrored rawhide and was surprised at how much junk I have!

Okay, _this_ isn't the junk, but it does raise the question. What are 
the significant differences (other than architecture) between installing 
one over the other?

For starters, I would expect the RPM-GPG-KEY files to be in both.
One has more packages than the other:

11:30 [mirror at mail ~]$ find /home/mirror/linux/fedora/rawhide/x86_64/os/ 
-type f -name \*.rpm | wc -l
5918
11:30 [mirror at mail ~]$ find /home/mirror/linux/fedora/rawhide/i386/os 
-type f -name \*.rpm | wc -l
9026
