So, all of the current devices need to get upgraded before 'day one' of 32-bit ASN use... that'll be fun :) Why is RIPE passing out the 32-bit ASN's now? aren't there still plenty (+20k or so) 16-bit ASN's out there for assignment? (perhaps I'm missing something on the need to allocate the new asn's?)
