Wow. Ok let me be clear here. The 32 bit packages you see are  
specifically selected to fulfill a multilib role. We cannot put every  
package in as there would be lots of conflicts in the packages that  
are nit suitable for multilib.

Please stop making assumptions about our compose process and strategy  
which you clearly don't understand.
