32bit ASNs are already in the works. I would expect not more than 2-3
years before you see widespread 32bit ASN code in routers.

My RIR is ARIN, and, I am an active participant in the ARIN process.
However, my comments on this issue started because I believe ULA will make
ARIN or other RIR policies regarding allocation virtually irrelevant =
because
economic pressure will drive ISPs to globally route ULA prefixes, which
allocation is not controlled by RIR policy.
