Yes, it is clearer, and thanks for updating your article.

I wasn't really looking forward to building an RPM-Build environment.
I've done it once before, but didn't need to use it again.  Doing it again
is like re-learning - I hate having to repeat long processes that then get
used infrequently.

Now, I might see if I can remove all the 64-bit Java elements from the
AMD64-FC3 system(s) and try to get the 32-bit versions of them going.
Having Java available on ALL systems is surely a worthy goal.

Hey Great!  It's always progress when a package grows by adding
support for another architecture!
