nice suggestion in my eyes. actually i also think that the number of
compat packages should be reduced as far as possible. is there really
a reason for lm_sensors compat packages?

i see a point in packaging SDL 32 bit libs as compat libs... but
especially in the past there was lots of seriously unnecassery stuff.
maybe seperate that kinda things into "full 32 bit compat" and
"necassery 32 bit compat" installation methods.

its really nice to run every 32 bit rpm there is... but most users
just need a very small subset of common packages (see SDL .. see the
requirements for wine... see 32 bit browsers and 32 bit movie
players).

lets find the "use cases" ;))
