The current multilib solution in rpm is far from pretty, it works well, but
definitively has downsides. I think as is its a reasonable comprimise, lets not
add bandaids and patches to it for issues which should be solved elsewhere, I
feel the pain of maintainers getting these bugs (I got 15 of them), but they
are fixable without requiring the addition of yet another multilib kludge to rpm.
