In the US, standard procedure is that IFR traffic is not routed
around VFR airplanes, even if they are transponder equipped. If you
are lucky, the IFR traffic will get a traffic advisory. Keep your
fingers crossed that the IFR traffic has TCAS and that the pilots
follow the RA instructions.

Do you have a reference for this? It seems contrary to the purpose of
having transponders, and is not what I or other pilots I know experience.
