To help illustrate "Many major server implementations (at least in the router space)":
JUNOS and Nokia SR OS have it. I'm not sure about Cisco - maybe someone who knows IOS-XR well could point out an example of this (or confirm they do/don't have it, or do/don't see a use case given their model-driven architecture). I assume Huawei must have it given the 3 primary authors are associated with Huawei in the draft. Maybe they can confirm.
