| yum install yum-basearchonly.x86_64

I think that this should *not* be the default unless everything x86_64
and i386 will work in the same way. This is now far from being achieved:
you cannot have all plugins or extensions working in firefox 64bits and
it is better to install i386 versions.

The worse situation is for video (vlc, xine,....) there are a lot of
conflicts between libraries if you install 64bits versions of some
softwares using the same libraries...
