How would you translate this into "generic 32bit AS number usability"?
I do understand how folks like IXPs use 32bit ASNs, but the consequence
of your statement would be "no IXP can have any 32bit participant, because
someone with a Mikrotik router might not be able to set proper communities",
which is not what happens in reality.
So for the IXP ASN itself, I can see some stronger arguments for a 16bit
ASN (because fallback to 16bit IXP:<thing> community values wouldn't work
either, then) - but for everything else?
More curious than trying to argue any particular point,
