Enabling "testing" repositorys also enables [multilib-testing] regardless if "multilib" is enabled
Which ISO version are you using?
archlinux-2025.11.01-x86_64.iso

Description of the issue
I was Installing using archinstall on a Intel compute stick (STCK1A32WFC) and I installed without multilib (I almost always use testing repos though) to save space as I only have 32gb of emmc storage as it was installing i noticed when it was syncing the mirrors that it was fetching data from [multilib-testing]
After install everything was fine but [multilib-testing] was infact enabled in /etc/pacman.conf
But wouldn't it make sense to enable that as part of testing?
it enables regardless of if multilib is enabled so if you have testing enabled but not multilib it will enable [multilib-testing]
I'm not sure what people are looking for, if I was to enable "testing" I would sort of expect multilib-testing to be enabled? but maybe I'm wrong with that assumption...

if i enable testing but not multilib it enables multilib-testing regardless meaning if i don't want multilib im still getting multilib-testing from enabling testing repos
