My proposal:

dual and DVDs - as they are today.
32-bit LiveCD-s as they are today.
Replace 64-bit LiveCDs with two LiveDVDs (KDE and GNOME versions) which 
contain all languages.

I think 32-bit LiveCDs are still needed as they will be used by those 
users who don't have computer that can read DVDs and when the CD is in 
english it will be really hard for them localize their system after 
installing.
