This is a good idea.  
But I think there are a lot of people, including myself, who don't have
a full idea of what 32 bit clean ROMs will do for us.  I know of a few
things, which is enough to make me want them, but I'm sure there are
many more reasons.   
Is there some nice person who is really in the know that would be willing to
write something up about the full advantages of 32 bit clean ROMs then those
of us who need those features can put them into our own words and reasons
and mail them to Owen.
