I expected this comment. No, the chainring is still very much usable, but there are
signs of notching. I'll post a picture, wait a second.
This 3/32" chainring WILL be used for about 10.000 Km total, but at the end it will be all a big collection of dolphin fins. The 1/8" will be like the 3/32" is now. The 1/8" chainring that outlasted the 3 3/32" chainrings is another one - it has 12.000 Km on, and it's in such a good shape, I took it off the bike and put it back in the storage, as an almost new chainring. That's the chainring where the anodizing is a bit worn off here and there.
EDIT: pics of the 3/32" Vuelta chainring that shows signs of notching after only 1300 Km, are now attached below:
