Well, i386 on x86_64 doesn't hurt as we don't really want to run the i386 binary, we PREFER the x86_64 binary. However on ppc, we would usually prefer the ppc binary. The problem is that we don't really treat the package set any differently across the arches. The same things that are multilib on x86_64 are multilib on ppc64. The same -devel packages we ship for i386 are the same for x86_64 and for ppc64. This is where you run into far far more things been ppc64 on an install than ppc, and you run into the bloat.
