We are doing more than that. We are separating 32bit support from community, too. I want to make it a strict rule that no multilib package can ever enter community again. Or core. Or extra. (Btw, that rule would imply that grub is being removed from core-x86_64).
To repeat what I said several times: multilib support MUST be in its own repository, the core/extra/community Arch Linux MUST stay pure 64.
What kind of packages are expected to be found in a multilib repository? Should we keep with core/extra packages, leaving 32-bit versions of community packages to AUR ? In more down-to-earth terms: are we going to have glibc/gtk2/firefox/flashplugin in the same place ?
