+That is true, however from a globabl mirror pov; it kind of makes sense:
+
+suppose people would want to do the arm or other ports, the noarch packages 
+can be exactly the same; therefor there is no need to list the noarch packages 
+in i586 and having them symlinked or whatever to x86_64 which will have larger 
+.cz and people will need to mirror both if they want x86_64 only, etc...
