I kinda agree with you, but I think the reasoning *for* doing it is 
fairly good too as it means you can co-install 32 and 64 bit libs on the 
same system.

The alternative would be to install all the 32 bit libs in e.g. /lib32. 
I actually like this better, but it means that a gradual transition to 
64bit is much more complex and you can't just install the 32-bit 
versions from your distro without specifically building the 32-bit libs 
for a 64-bit filesystem layout which is a bit wacky in itself!

So I guess it kinda makes sense in that respect.

Col.
