Right. And here again is one of the major problems. We know what the
problem is, and Fedora has a record of being able to push through
changes once a problem is identified and time thrown at it - why can't
there just be a cut-off date/release by which most of the packages
must have been split out? Then multilib *hacks* can be thrown away.
Because while this is a "fix" for our current multilib algorithms, it's
not clear that this is a proper fix in whole. It is another bandaid
for the bleeding wound we have. It's not trivial to go splitting a
crapton of packages, so perhaps we'd like some more idea of "this is
The Fix".
