It was announced last February, and gradually became the default.

The article is quite poorly written (sorry Mark) as it makes no mention of the fact Huawei lines already did this (more than half the FTTC lines).
I believe interleaving is now the default for all new provisions, all DLM resets and for migrations that result in the DLM being reset. Not all migrations reset the DLM
This is the case for both ECI and Huawei lines.
With Huawei lines with a modem which supports it G.INP is applied on day 2.
If the line is stable DLM can drop the SNRM target to 5dB, 4dB then 3dB on days 4, 6 and 8.
This can occur over months for lines with higher error counts, not at all for others, or somewhere inbetween (some stick on 4dB or 5dB).
With ECI lines DLM will move a stable line to fastpath after 2 days.
It can take longer for noisier lines.
Many lines will stay interleaved.
