If you look here:

http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2013-0438.html

You will see no i686 RPMs for iscsi in the x86_64 tree there, where as
the i686 iscsi packages that you mention (iscsi-initiator-utils and
iscsi-initiator-utils-devel), were on the upstream isos for EL 6.0.  So,
for some reason, upstream as decided to remove the i686 packages from
the x86_64 tree and we followed suit.  We did it more for repo closure
purposes than following the upstream tree.

For control-center-filesystem.i686, I can not find that on any upstream
x86_64 isos (so we should likely not have had it there in the first
place), but it is not in the x86_64 tree here:

http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2012-0950.html

So, the packages being removed is the current upstream state, and is
likely where we ought to be.
