Then rpmdrake shouldn't be showing libraries by default.

Or to run wine on x86_64.
Or to run other proprietary applications/libraries provided by vendors (not
necessarily apps we have in non-free).
IMHO, Mandriva is going backwards in this regard.
$ rpm -qa --qf '%{ARCH} %{NAME}\n'|grep -Ev '(^x86_64|noarch|i586 lib|
\(none\))'
i586 wine32
i586 opera
i586 googleearth
i586 playonlinux
i386 teamviewer6
i586 skype
i586 acroread
i586 wine
i386 oracle-xe
i586 python-psyco
i586 wine-gecko
i386 ICAClient

</I>
Provide good, in-distro documentation on how to resolve 32-bit dependencies,
or IMHO removing the 32bit repos is a regression. We are a *very* long way
from adequate documentation.
