The website already links to 64-bit in preference to 32-bit. There's 
arguably reasons to prefer 32-bit in certain memory-constrained 
environments, but there's certainly arguments in favour of (say) 
dropping most of the 32-bit x86 package set and turning it into a 
specialised subset of the overall distribution.
