The install DVD wouldn't have 32-bit baggage. So what? It's not installed by 
default anyway. (At least the live images don't contain ANY multilib stuff. 
I'm not sure what the DVD does these days.)

They'd just have to enable the 32bit repos and install wine.i686. (And W64 
binaries would even work with the default wine, but I realize those are not 
the common case.)

So drop that option. I never understood the point of installing 32-bit 
versions of EVERYTHING as opposed to just the 32-bit stuff that's actually 
needed anyway. And in this case removing the option would actually allow us 
to improve things (less duplication in the repos, smaller metadata for those 
of us with pure 64-bit systems etc.), unlike some gratuitously removed 
options in e.g. GNOME.
