Well, whatever undocumented crap it does that allows both i386 and
x86_64 rpms to install "the same" files (which are in fact obviously
different) is clearly a wart about the size of the titanic.


No, that's a feature and it lets you run packages that haven't been rebuilt for x86_64 and need 32 bit libraries (what, you have a single source for software?).

The bug is that it won't easily let you build multiple versions of the same package for testing, etc. and keep them all installed - except for the kernels where somebody noticed the problem and made it special case.
