While running a new update to try to reproduce the problem, I see it's
installing lots of unwanted 386 packages. This leads to the question,
why did yum-basearchonly get removed?
If memory serves, it's been obsoleted by the multilib_policy feature in
yum. It defaults to 'best', so 'yum install PKG' already does what you
want it to - only installs PKG.x86_64, not PKG.i386.

Thanks Will.
According to the second, it defaults to "all" which I think means
"worst" or "bloated":-)
Now, if someone could _document_ it. In the package, not some place in
the longlostweb..
