I've been experimenting with exactly that idea (x86_64 only, no 32-bit stuff at
all) ever since I set up this computer with F8/x86_64 a while back.  It's
working fine, with the obvious exception that you can't run i386 software on
it.  Not a problem for most stuff.

If you try it and don't like it, I think you could put it back to being a
i386-capable machine by simply removing that line from yum.conf and installing
some i386 software.  However, I'm not entirely certain of that -- does anyone
know for sure?
