Wine32 requires 32bit libraries? No fix?

I did not understand that the thing would be that Linux distro's would 
not be able to even load 32-bit libraries? Was it not more that they 
would not provide 32-bit libraries as a thing, and that it would still 
be supported due to the kernel still being able to run 32-bit code?

I can't see the "end of all" by this tbh, but that it will be certain 
distro's that none will bother maintaining 32-bit libraries for, sure.. 
And it will end up being up to enthusiasts to provide custom libraries 
just for wine if needed i guess.

Is there non-critical or performant processes that could be "converted" 
so that ALL the 32-libraries would not be needed?
