Agreed, but for SLES I am pretty sure they are targeting bigger machines.

For openSUSE, there is no indication that 32-bit distros is being dropped.

So for the foreseeable time I suspect if you want 32-bit, you should
be fine using openSUSE.  Admittedly, the 32-bit kernels are about to
start getting less high-end testing by the enterprise releases.  I'm
not sure how much that matters.  openSUSE was typically releasing
kernels that SLES wasn't using, so they weren't performing high-end
testing on those kernels anyway, were they?
