I'm really not sure.  What I got from Johnny seems to be what is used  
in the Fedora configs:
exclude=[ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefhijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]*.i*86 g 
[abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz]*.i?86 glib2.i?86 glib.i?86 *-devel.i?86

I simplified the regexes a bit to get what I pasted in my previous  
mail, but honestly I don't know why not just exclude all i?86  
packages.  Are there possibly packages that we need that are not  
excluded by that line?

Either way, I think we need to have some sort of exclude for the  
x86_64 config or we end up with yum errors due to conflicting x86_64/ 
i?86 packages.
