If you try to run a program and it doesn't run, then removing i686
might have been bad. Wine is definitely one that will pull in a long
list of i686 dependencies.
Generally what I recommend is this: If you install a package that you
then decide you don't want, use "yum history undo" or "yum history
rollback" to remove that package. Otherwise, just upgrade and don't
look for things to remove. The amount of disk space used by packages
you don't actively use is measured in cents. Your time is worth far more.
A minor(?) downside of too many unneeded packages is how much time yum
update takes.
