The compromise is that the web team should be sniffing the User Agent of 
the browser for the machine arch and present a download option to match.

Scenario: You are running a 32-bit browser on a 64-bit machine and 
browse Fedoraproject.org. Fedoraproject.org should present a 64-bit 
installer. Yes, it can be done. The user agent, at least for Firefox, 
contains the machine arch even if you use the 32-bit browser.

There is no valid, non-subjective reason to continue running a 32-bit 
kernel on a 64-bit system. This entire thread is a nice joke to read.
