I agree we have an opportunity to give an happy welcome to Linux for all those 
XP ready to drop their PC through out their 'windows' (mostly 32-bit). 

Anyway, I do not believe Linux kernel will drop the 32-bit before version 3.20 
or any that closer as we think. Chances are we have two or three years 
extended support before it happens. And that would be enough time to migrate 
to new CPU's (64-bit) or Not?
