Erm - in the heart of an ISP, where CIDR rules - the notions of classful
addressing have been banished for a long while... but in the land of users
most applications and operating systems are still classful... RIPv1 is
still alive in the world, and to it - classful addressing is still the 
only way.

So while it would be nice to say that we've banished the beast - it still
lives on in places outside the core of the internet.

However, we do still live in hope :)
