Sure, this system will be intact. My questions directs more into the philosophy of this form of packaging. If i remove i386 rpms - some x86_64 rpms will miss files! My integrity checks include also rpm -V and in that situations it fails. I haven't investigate it very deeply - but all rpms for a small server - lets say a webserver - exists for a x86_64 arch, right. Why installing i386 packages, thought ?
Because x86_64 is able to run i386 binaries, if the suitable libraries is available. With the default setup, you can just install a normal i386 rpm and it will work. You can unselect this in the package selection ("legacy arch"), if I remember correctly.
