Yeah, but you are asking us to install literally hundreds of packages
and MB we don't need and then spend hours removing them.
If the price of solving this problem is one check box or one "additional
yum parameters" text box - why not do it?
Suggestion, maybe make this an anacondo install paramater which can be
passed through syslinux then sufficiently advanced users can get an
x86_64 only system and normal users are not confused by a checkbox?
