I'm not sure exactly how much extra work it would be. It would certainly
help if there were an arch32-like community project. That said, I don't
see any reason to expect Ubuntu to drop 32-bit support any time soon.
They support a variety of architectures, unlike Arch who only supported
x86 and seemed to reduce support to one architecture to save effort.

A while back I set up a low-resource netbook with Trisquel using Icewm
instead of a full DE. Some screenshots here:
