[Yum] about dir structure: i386 and i686 to diff dirs or not?

[Peter Peltonen]

I am trying to establish as simple as possible directory structure for
RPMs to be available via yum.

I just browsed through http://ayo.freshrspm.net/redhat/ and noticed that
in http://ayo.freshrpms.net/redhat/9/i386/updates/RPMS/ Matthias has
glibc-2.3.2-27.9.i686.rpm RPM even though the dir structure would
suggest that there should be only i386 RPMs there.

So, when working with yum, is there any reason to put i386 and i686 RPMs
in different dirs? Let's say I have an old i486 machine and I use yum
with it, does yum know to do the right thing and install the i386
version of the glibc and not the i686 version?

It would be neat and simple, if I could just put all i386, i686 and
noarch RPMs in a same dir.

Many words wasted for explaining a simple issue :)
