We had several discussions about lib32 and multilib support in the past. It has been always our agreement to keep Arch x86_64 plain pure 64bit. Just KISS.
It has been YOUR agreement.
Any additional 32bit support should stay in the community area. Nothing has changed here.
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.
So please take care about the word "official" in this forum thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=102973 or wherever it will come up.
It is official in a sense that it is maintained by Arch developers and TUs.
