I did not play with that yet (I was away for about a week, I am
catching up with the program and it shows :-) but it looks to me
that both types of an information do not collide.  So you would
need to run both createrepo and yum-arch on the same directory
and that would make it available to both types of clients.

Maybe createrepo has an option to generate "old style" headers too?
It would be really nice if it did.
