OK, just a few things I noticed.

(1) yum-changelog cannot be installed:

Error: Missing Dependency: python-dateutil is needed by package
yum-changelog-1.1.14-0_beta_15_2.el5.centos.noarch (c5-testing)

(2) the skip-broken plugin causes an error:

optparse.OptionConflictError: option --skip-broken: conflicting option
string(s): --skip-broken

FIX: disable skip-broken

(3) On an x86_64 system with *no* i386 packages installed, the issue reported in

http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2008-June/002961.html

did not occur (issue = 'yum install httpd-devel' installs both x86_64
and i386 rpm's).  Only the x86_64 rpm was installed.

(4) However, 'yum install firefox' installs both arches unless
'.x86_86' is specified (on a clean x86_64 only system).

That's all for now.
