I like to disagree. I really see no reason why an obsolete should be needed 
here. Sure there is information loss when switching to noarch and back but 
an obsolete can't fix this.

I thought I had fixed the multilib behavior of yum some time ago especially 
for such arch changing cases and there should be test cases covering that. 
Looks like I need to have a look into it again.
