One use case where you definitely DON'T want i386 multilibs is an

VM running on an i386 machine. If you want to build 32-bit packages, you're
going to do it on your real hardware, not an emulated machine. And installing
in QEMU is slow, so useless packages being pulled in is a PITA.
Adding to that:
By the way, if you want to run FC6 i386 or x86_64 in QEMU, you need the patches
I just attached to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=207843
This is already upstream (in fact I extracted the relevant change from upstream
CVS). I hope this can be put into the FE package quickly, because FC6's qemu
not running FC6 itself isn't very nice. ;-)
