And most of the problems I have with this are usually solved by
waiting a day or two for the 386 and x86_64 builds to get finished
so the same versions of both are available.

The real problem comes when there is a surge of new stuff and by
waiting a day, the first problem I had was solved, only to
be replaced by another different package that is new where the
two arches aren't in sync again.

The problem is so noticable only because FC6 installed so many
utterly pointless duplicate 32 bit versions of 64 bit things.

When I look at the conflicts I'll sometimes say, "What the heck
do I have a 32 bit one of those for?", and just rpm -e the 386
version, thus reducing the chance for conflicts, and making
the update process run smoother.
