And there's no such thing as 32-bit in Windows 2.0. I shouldn't have to 
create separate WINEPREFIXES just so I can choose between 32-bit and 
64-bit Windows versions for my applications. How is this going to be 
handled for ARM? Isn't 400 MB for a single WINEPREFIX enough?

Wine already handles 32-/64-bit, there's no need to deny users access to 
Windows 2000 just because they've installed Wine using the default 
settings on the 64-bit machines.
