if people don't make the effort, then it won't be changed.  You made
the effort to write your original post. You made the effort to reply.
If you are going to bother writing anything at all, the least I can do
is take the time to make the effort to make sure you are writing to
the write place to have an impact.

packagename-version-release.arch   packagename is <<the name>>  the
information is there its just not the bolded part.

64bit system. They are not duplicates. How does PK know if you want
the 32bit or the 64bit version of a package?

I don't think your personal preference nor mine gets to define the
'right' defaults.  Defaults are a matter of reasoned discussion and
must balance several factors.  There is an argument to be made that
the one time importing of a repository key into the rpm keyring is a
sensitive enough action and infrequent enough to require an
administrator's authorization as a default policy.
