It may be temporary, it may not be. We've removed mozilla in favor of Firefox for building things against, so firefox grew a -devel sub package. However this is a temporary measure until xulrunner is ready for prime time which will provide the basis of the browsing stuff and a -devel package to build against, so that firefox doesn't need a -devel anymore, and packages can use a much smaller xulrunner to develop against. At that time, firefox may cease to be multilib automatically, however I would entertain requests to force it to be multilib...
The argument-which-I-hope-I-will-not-restart applies here too -- Macromedia _ought_ to make an x86_64 version, and they have less incentive to if all the distro vendors make it easier for them to just ship i386 everywhere.
