if you want to purify x86_64 you can always add:
exclude=*.i[3456]86
to your yum.conf under [main]
Yeah, I've done that in some setups but I was talking about purifying the
_repos_ above; that setting doesn't affect them, e.g. it doesn't make the
metadata to be downloaded any smaller. (As said, not that I think it's a big
general issue at all, but just that I'd personally have nothing against if it
would be "fixed" nevertheless.)
