Not many, just 1 pair. Traditions die slowly. One reason is that you MUST alert 1c and 1 d openings if they promised just 3 cards (EBU regulations). Most people reasonably think less alerts is better. Another factor is popularity of rubber bridge. Yes, I'm not kidding. There are as many rubber tables per week as duplicate in Manchester bridge club. And in rubber all play exactly same system - Acol.
