The US still use the Mk117 is large numbers, definately from a Buff not sure about any other platforms, as a "general purpose" bomb. The Mk82/3/4 reference these days tends to refer more to the explosive part of the munition rather than the package name. The primary bomb name tends to reflect its guidance and propulsion (yes on a bomb!) these days.
