Line up and Wait

Several months ago, I got a nice e-mail from the FAA explaining that to better match ICAO standards, the phrase "Taxi into position and hold" (also known as TPH) was going to be replaced by "Line up and wait". Of course this is at a time when this clearence is being used somewhat less frequently. When I get this clearence, I still always hear "Taxi into position and hold (along with the requisite report on inbound or pattern traffic)".

Is anyone hearing the new (to us) phrase in the US? I'm wondering when they are really going to change.
