I was just getting ready to build those, I need them:) .. how about we put them (or newer ones, if available) in i686 extras.
On a side note, I wonder when - and if - a 32-bit version of CentOS will eventually become available. I'm managing a small IT company in South France, and I have to deal with a considerable amount of legacy hardware in schools and town halls, mostly first generation Pentium IV with something like 1 GB of RAM. In general, folks are happy as long as they don't have to upgrade their hardware when moving from Windows to Linux. These old PCs may be dinosaurs, but apparently it takes a meteor strike to wipe them.
At the moment this kind of hardware is running my personal blend of 32-bit Slackware Linux 14.0 or 14.1. I'm planning to install CentOS 6.x on it, but I think it would be perfectly able to run a 32-bit version of CentOS 7.

Hi Niki,
I've built a CentOS 7 i686 liveCD, just as a PoC , some time ago and I tested it on a Pentium 4 / 2.8Ghz and 1Gb of ram : https://twitter.com/Arrfab/status/553547691272445953
While it "works" it's quite slow so probably better then to stick with CentOS 6 and wait for something lighter than Gnome3/Gnome-shell as Desktop Environment (xfce/mate/$other)
Cheers,
