There is a long-standing debate on how to handle this. The problem is that requiring the i386 RPM packages means that the system has to pull in the 32-bit versions of all its dependencies, including glibc.i386. On systems that want to be purely 64-bit, we don't want to force them to have all these extra pieces. There are several bugs open in RPM and yum to try to figure out how to solve this correctly. Unfortunately I can't locate the BZs right now.
