This is the document I quoted in my first email.

ok for 2500, 2600 they are EOL, but still out there..

but Gary says the software is too new to be used on prod, and you say there is no problem. So who is right? I see that 12.4(24)T has been released in Feb last year. Do people follow the router upgrades closely? What is the common sense?

It doesn't mean anything like that.

As the software is available for some time already, you can
run 32bit ASN in production today, and actually people do that.
Nothing fancy.

For the list of software versions supporting 32 bit ASN please
referer to this document:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/iosswrel/ps6537/ps6554/ps6599/data_sheet_C78-521821.html

But yes, you can't run it on 2500 and 2600 as they're for long time
