I am not sure I understand what you are saying. Let's say I got two (base)
channels (32-bit and 64-bit). Both these channels use a 'noarch' channel.
I have to create a 32-noarch and a 64-noarch and subscribe to the
appropiate base channel. Everthing but the label and is the same...
(I'm not sure if the storage of the packages is doubled...)

I would like to subscribe the noarch channel to both the 32-bit channels
and the 64-bit channel...
It seems less obfuscated to me...
