Meaning (for example) "yum install redhat-lsb.i386" instead of just "yum 
install redhat-lsb"?
That works, but there are cases when the old "install both arch" is 
desirable.

In my case I create a custom distro based on RHEL5, where the x86_64 ISO 
doesn't contain i386 rpms. This is mainly to save space (so it can fit 
into a 700-MB CD).
If users need i386 packages, with the old behavior I can simply tell 
them to do "yum install `rpm -qa`", and yum will pull i386 version of 
x86_64 packages installed, if available.

PS : I just tried snapshot ca3dd56f5bbaa01fc21846aec7366d6a22c9335e, 
latest from gitweb. multilib_policy=all still doesn't work. I assume the 
public git repository isn't updated yet.
