Setup & Installation / ANPM, YUM & RPM - platform choices => i386 or i686, or can they "get along"?

OK, so I finally "bit the bullet" and went through with ANMP install. Went through the process several times before I got the little "surprises" out of the way (btw: if you have any Python env variables still lingering in your CONFIG.SYS REM them out, as the ANMP installer does not pay attention to this and in the end your ANMP will be non-functional).
Anyways...so I've gone through the "essentials", slowly little by little my previous DLLs (which I used to store in \usr\dll) are being replaced with the new stuff. Not all of it has gone, I still have quite a few of the old stuff kicking around, but no duplicates. And yes, this is now causing a potential problem with WarpIn because the DLLs it thinks are still there are no longer present, although it is smart enough to detect that.
So...I started looking at doing the YUM/RPM install of QT...a package like libqt4 for example shows as i386 platform...and as best as I can tell this is a problem since my whole ANPM/YUM/RPM install was done as i686 right from the start. Am I understanding this correctly? There are several references on various OS/2, Netlabls, ArcaNoae pages that mixing the platform packages may lead to problems and is NOT recommended.
If this is an issue, who is responsible for producing the i686 version?
