      Um, -- well- -- yes.  It always does.  My concern is that when 
packages are updated, and there is an i686 and x86_64 version in the 
original release tree, the updates tree only has the x86_64 version, which 
is why I ask the question of how to handle it.  I could make sure that 
only the x86_64 version of the package appears on the release I'm 
spinning, or should I make sure that the updated i686 package is carried 
to my release if it was present in the original release by Fedora.  I hope 
this clarifies my concern.
