In looking, this function is called from /usr/bin/anaconda, and yuminstall.py:doBackendSetup(), both to write the config for the yum/rpm instance that anaconda uses. That implies that anaconda currently sets it to prefer 32-bit binaries if a binary exists for both arches in the transaction. Given that we set multilib_policy=best, and we compose with ppc64 as primary, this shouldn't be an issue in any default installation. However, if someone manually adds <foo>.ppc to their package set (via kickstart, or whatever) this would change the behavior they see. Do we still want to change this in released RHEL? While it's a behavior change, I think the current behavior (where yum preferred 64-bit packages, but you got 32-bit binaries if you installed both) is a bit nonsensical.
