I think that would be helpful. I cannot imagine anyone wanting to keep .i386 
& .x86_64 packages out of sync.

Also, over time packages should become 64 bit clean and a .i386 version may no 
longer be required. Is there any way to spot .i386 packages that are no 
longer needed and can be removed? Right now, you have to download 211 MB of 
files to update kde. I wonder what is pulling in the i386 packages for kde.

Thanks,
