I would say that we've been doing a lot of peering and turning up
customer circuits in the region, and in the past 24 months, we've come
across a ton of 32-bit ASN's in either context, and haven't had any
issues or exceptions turning those up.

So I think there has been great improvement in this area... a lot more
than IPv6 and DNSSEC implementations, anyway.
