In section 2.1.7 of this document (Make the Header Files), you say:

   "Since yum-arch and createrepo create their data in different
    directories, it is harmless to run both. If you are building things
    manually, this would be a waste of cycles. But you might want to do
    this if you are maintaining systems that use several versions of yum,
    e.g. FC1, FC2 and FC3"

When building my own local repositories, I thought I'd save some time and use 
yum-arch for FC1 and FC2 repos and createrepo for FC3. However, I later 
discovered that FC3's up2date requires yum-arch style headers for yum repos 
rather than createrepo style headers, so that's another good reason to create 
both sets of headers for all repos.
