69/8 revisited

We were just allocated a /17 out of 69/8. With all off the recent traffic on 69/8 reachability problems, I asked ARIN if the allocation could come from a different block. Their answer was basically that 69/8 (only) is where they are allocating from and that "from reading NANOG, it appears that much of the problem has been resolved." I haven't seen any updated information that 69/8 is now working for people. Is everyone just quiet about it, or have filters actually been updated making this a non-issue? Thanks, Rick
