Only North America still uses non-ISO paper sizes.
It will take decades to change the standards for paper sizing in the
USA. There's too much invested in machinery and such that is based on
8.5x11 and 8.5x14 legal size paper.
A3 and A3 Super are common now, however.

The true irony is that much of that machinery will support metric paper
sizes, but the owners don't realize that.
I do rather wish I could easily get A4 paper, but the older imperial
sizes do work.
