Actually, that's not correct.  I ran a 64-bit only system here for a while as a
sort of an experiment and it worked fine; everything worked great.  The only
downside was that I didn't have flash or Acrobat Reader available.

You can remove all i386 packages with this command:

yum remove \*.i?86

That's the downside.
