Been there, done that occasionally. Scenarios like that just don't happen to
be part of what I meant by "generally".
But I'd have nothing against "purifying" x86_64 repos and instructing
people
who need something from ix86 repos to enable them as well. I suppose this is
something PackageKit could even suggest on demand. Anyway I also suppose that
if it was this simple, it would have been done already.
if you want to purify x86_64 you can always add:
exclude=*.i[3456]86
to your yum.conf under [main]
