Still waiting for somebody to confirm he's actually running such old machine on Tumbleweed ;)

Pentium 4 motherboards with Socket 478 cannot be upgraded to 64-bit CPUs. 478 motherboards typically support no more than 2GB RAM.
Note that Pentium 4 is safe, so from your list above that is 5 machines left behind (not sure about hs80e), two of them updated >1year ago. What do those machines actually do?
Recent thread here that may indicate other users or would-be users using TW because 32-bit was dropped from "Distribution" releases: https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2017-08/msg00105.html
Yes, I saw that. I'm not suggesting to drop 32bit, I'm just suggesting
to drop support for CPUs that are very old.
Richard.
