You may have missed my point: I was suggesting that the lib32 stuff be packed into fewer packages, because the places where it is needed are less likely to want fine-grained selection. So just having a single package with all the "runtime" packages would be closer to what most people needed (and likewise for the "development" etc. libraries which are almost never useful). -GAWollman
