"Start by kill the install media and wait about a year or so. Then announce that there is no more official support and make it opened ended so that if some one in the community wants to take over they can via a private repo."
I would like to second this idea (for future reference, since this discussion is pretty much over now). It doesn't make sense to (officially) release a 32bit DVD and then kill off support in 2 months. I think the 32 bit repos should be maintained for a year after the 32 bit isos are no longer officially supported. Both steps (the iso support and repo support) should be announced well ahead of time. A second thought. We could have the servers store the 32 bit repo in /tmp. That'll end support in style, eventually.
