They are of value only to users invoking traceroute, and have some level of clue. I don't doubt ISPs would find ASN info useful. I, as an end user, at home, doubt this has any value to me. But I was referring more that the vast majority of these ICMP messages will be sent as part of non-traceroute traffic, and thus go places that don't need the information and can't use it. (Will the also be included in time exceeded messages associated with TCP?) As long as it can be demonstrated that including such information causes no harm, I suppose it's not a big deal. But I do worry about at what point we say "no" to inserting information into ICMP that has only limited value.
