I only ran the scan once, but had ~130k devices respond.
is there any modern utility in chargen?
I know of none, maybe I'm too young. So we could conclude we don't need that service running. But some folk use ports for services other than the intended - like tcp:443 for VPN ;-) So if we can get enough abusable end-systems fixed (hope so *), and we get enough source address validation (bcp38) to reduce sources of badness (hope so *), then the network won't need to block that port and someone can make inventive use of it ;-) (*) and working on it. Frank PS: - seems something going on already, had one outside complain about traffic from our IP udp:19 - better start scanning proactively
