I look at it the other way around: Despite nearly 20 years of cajoling
and other pressure tacticts there are still some sticks in the mud who
will not be budged even though their soon going to rot off in the middle!
None of them can send me e-mail, and I don't find that a big loss. Some
of them do still run some pretty big and important domains though so one
can't quite yet do away with them at any ISP site.
Someday maybe RFC 974 will be deprecated.
