Same here! :-). We had a customer show up with 3.xx and our initial
reaction was "Houston, we have a problem".
It turned out that RIPE NCC offers the option to choose between 16 or
32 bit ASN. Customer, naturally, thought that 32 bit is somwhow better
;-). Luckily, it was easy for them to get 16 bit 2 days later :-).
