I like that suggestion, but I think it should be *very* limited. I'd say
limit it to users of the following Macs:

128
512(KE)
Plus
SE
II
IIx

No other models. The reason behind this is that the IIgs was still in
production during the time these machines were.

As an aside, all models of the 680x0 processor family have 32-bit internal
registers, making them 32-bit processors. All 68k processors used in Macs
have at least a 16-bit bus. There was only one model of 68k that had an
8-bit bus, and that was the 68008. The 68020 and higher have 32-bit busses.
