I'm not speaking for any of the yum developers. I'm just suggesting we, 
Fedora, stop caring about bizarre yum options which we don't default to for 
good reasons.

The advice I have for you yum developers is to drop that broken "install all 
packages as multilib" option entirely. I always considered that behavior a bug 
in yum, I'm glad it has been made optional and even more glad that Fedora 
stopped defaulting to it in F9, but I don't understand why it's even still 
supported at all. Packages should only be installed as multilib when required 
as a dependency or when explicitly requested for that particular package by 
the user.
