Afraid so. I'm hoping to be out of the industry before calls for 128 bit AS#s come down the pipe and people (at that time) are laughing about how silly 32 bit AS#s seem.

I hope to be long dead before we exhaust >4 billion ASNs. If I'm still alive then, someone probably transferred my brain into a positronic neural network, and Earth is long since uninhabitable by organic life. But I wouldn't doubt if some threads like this are still running on HSNOG (Hyperspace Network Off-topic Gripes). Hm.
