So you really think it's a good idea for yum to automatically add
repositories for i386 if you're on an x86_64? People complain about
their being too many i386 binaries in the x86_64 tree as is - and you
think having yum default to adding more is going to be helpful?

and the reason why using the mirrorlists fail is b/c the mirrorlists use
the $ARCH variable which expands out to whatever your arch is on the
local system.
