I'm experimenting with 6.2 now. Things seem to be really great so far!
Distribution closure is one of my favourite pets. So I tried to install everything.
I found only one problem, but that's another (minor) thing.
But I found almost nothing under /usr/lib.
So, Biarch is really dead?
Funny! A couple of years back, I finally opted for CentOS instead of Debian just because of Biarch ...
I'm getting real old ...

thats tricky, ~ multiple things can provide overlapping functionality as well..

nope. its actually quite a major pain to manage..
you forgot to mention what you installed, how you did it and what you expected V/s achieved

When you were using the 5.x branch, biarch was done on install via what some consider a glitch in the installer. There was generally much complaining about the whole load of x86 packages when people wanted clean x86_64 systems.

Not at all, it's simply not as much of as a default as it once was. the command "yum list available *.i?86" should show you a whole host of packages available to put your shiny bits back in /usr/lib
