That's just a package management tooling problem. 

If you use yum, or PackageKit, life is improved because you only have
to install *1*  package  per architecture you want:

   yum install qemu-system-x86


which pulls in all the other bits via dependancies. No one is seriously
expecting people to go around doing 'rpm -ivh ' on individual RPMs anymore
as its just a complete waste of time
