Sometimes folks *do* want both.

And who are you to dictate that everyone else must install just one or
just the other globally?  What if, on a multi-user system, USER_A wants
firefox.i386 and USER_B wants firefox.x86_64 ?  There are no technical
reasons why it can't be done so why try to impose some artificial (and
IMO self-defeating) barriers?
