I agree - this would not be a defect that would require backbone maintenance - it's a defect that would affect edge VOIP devices, hardly core infrastructure. Of course, it could be that there is another more serious defect out there that major providers have been pre-warned about and are deploying countermeasures prior to a general disclosure (ALA SNMP vulnerabilities). We'll have to wait and see.
