Has the language surrounding the nature of NULL improved?

With the public comment period approaching I thought it might be
a good time to ask such an infamously significant question.  Or
is it too late?

I've switched to 0 and if( ptr ) forever, but that doesn't keep
me from throwing things like ptr = '\0'; if there is a long,
annoying public argument about NULL vs the universe.
