You mean you'd rather qualify less often, so that in comparison 1988 or 1994 stand taller in the imagination? I find most people would prefer to qualify as often as possible. The standard of play will show itself in the real arena, the finals. How many teams left out of the last tournament felt that with just a little bit more luck they could have held their own in it, or even done quite well once quelification was achieved? That would be the ultimate chance to prove it.
If 32 for the Euros was accepted, a good look would need to be taken at the qualification process, yes. Having groups of six or seven from where up to four qualify would lack in competitive tension. The way to go would be more groups and smaller.
