+List of packages that should never change archs in an update.
+That means, if a package has a newer version available which is for a different
+compatible arch, yum will not consider that version an update if the package
+name is in this list.
+For example, on x86_64, foo-1.x86_64 won't be updated to foo-2.i686 if foo is
+in this list.
+Kernels in particular fall into this category.
+Defaults to kernel, kernel-smp, kernel-hugemem, kernel-enterprise,
+kernel-bigmem, kernel-devel, kernel-PAE, kernel-PAE-debug.
