I suspect that with the notion of modern OSes normally needing at least
1G each even in a VM (often much more), the choice was to steer
resources to the 64bit platform for virtulization because 32bit machines
can't address nearly as much memory space, often a key factor for VMs.
given the amount of resources to maintain a platform that can't really
support production workloads and most modern machines should be able to
switch to 64bit OS pretty seamlessly, I suspect there was no
justification to keep support for a 32bit version.
just my theory, not sure if it's of any help for you.
