Big +1. What will an unsuspecting user think when he downloads, burns
and tries Fedora on 32bit machine? That it's broken, because the
download link actually links to the 64bit iso (and yes, I just tried it
on a 32bit machine and it still links to the 64bit image) :-/ The best
thing to drive potential users away is to give them one-click download
that is broken...
