Disk space aside, if you don't need multilib, the same 25% chase you until you delete all the i386 packages, read: +25% Internet bandwidth (especially now that extra and updates are integrated into Anaconda); +25% update time; +25% installation time; Even worse, once you've finally finished the installation (updates included), removing anything between 100 and 600 packages in no small task - It'll most likely render the machine useless for an extra hour or two. I'm not suggesting we ship a multilib less DVD. I am suggesting we added an option to disable it during the installation.
