By default, if you ask yum to install <package>  and <package>.i386 + 
<package>.x86_64 are available, you'll get them both.  (same for other 
arches, like ppc/ppc64)  This is so that multilib Just Works and you don't 
have to think about it.  Those that DO think about it and concienciously 
decide to NOT use that feature of their processor can add "exclude=*.i?86" 
to /etc/yum.conf, as well as yum remove \*.i?86.
