it is when we want to provide a multilib environment when folks shouldn't have 
to think about it.  Our users should have to jump through hoops when they 
want to run some 32bit app.  It should Just Work.  That's IMHO a big reason 
why we are installing both arches by default.  The folks that really CARE 
about being pure lib are the ones that would have the ability to fiddle with 
some bits in a yumconf file.
