I don't know about the operators or manufacturer, but there are confusing reports that Asiana will no longer sell the seat adjacent to (presumably) the L2 and L3 exits on their A321ceo - confusing because all the reports quote seats 26A (which is next to the L3 door) and 31A (which is nowhere near any of the doors).

S Korea's Asiana Airlines bans emergency seats after door opens

Note also the video a couple of posts back showing that it's not just seat A that can reach the handle easily.

I have a feeling this is going to run and run, with some fairly profound implications for the industry ...
