Why is this not the default queryformat for x86_64?  It would cut down
on a lot of confusion and noise for those new to the x86_64 platform. 
And I do not see what it would hurt to make it default in all cases if
it complicates things to make it default for only x86_64.  It's fairly
simple to add this to your .rpmmacros, but the people who will know to
do this will already know about the dual-arch stuff.
