Not yet, and if they're supported, then in very, very recent software
code - which network operator usualy aren't running in their production
networks/routers...

DECIX, for example implements all approaches on their route-servers - so
you have option to use standard+extended communities (extended for 32b
ASN) or large communities providing similar functionality. Generally I
think it's good idea to implement also support for large communities on
newly-built routeservers.

With regards,
