To me it's an unilateral decision.

Did someone ever ask to OSX users if they need have 32bits JVM, next to 64bits ?
Or even if they want an universal 32/64bits VM like they used to have
with Apple JVM 1.6 ?

It's not the way an OpenSource project should deal with its community,
users community and not the way I understand OSS.
