We already do provide both 32 and 64 bit ISOs. Putting both on one ISO
would pretty much double the size of an ISO that is the biggest ISO of all
the Ubuntu ISOs. Last I checked, UbuntuSTudio did still load and work on
well over 10 years old computers so long as they have at least 1 Gig ram
(though more is needed to make the best use) There are enough people who
rely on a machine not connected to tyhe internet to make on the go
installs not practical.

Please make yourself available to take on this task. Asking a few people
with hardly any time to take on yet another task just means most people
will just hit the delete key on this mail and get on with life.
Really you should at least make yourself familiar enough with the process
to know how much work you are asking "someone" else to do for your system
and maybe not many others in their spare time. The Ubuntu kernel and
repository maintainers are already asking us to drop support for 32bit
systems... and some of our main applications are no longer 32bit
compatable upstream by the application developers either.
