I know of a bunch of organisations that quietly implement bcp38 but don't
talk about it.

Also, add to the problem that just because a provider supports bcp38, that
doesn't mean they support bcp38 everywhere on their network.  Like any
fence, you can end up with holes appearing due to poor installation or lack
of maintenance.

Overall it's a problem which would benefit from good quality
characterisation.  This isn't a request for Atlas to be the mechanism to do
this, btw, but there would be value in having an opt-in mechanism with
informed consent.  This should be sufficient to deal with ethical issues
associated with spoof testing.
