Ubuntu 12.04 implements parts of it at least - particularly preferring
temporary addresses by default rather than public ones, and the default
prefs and labels tables are from 6724. I'm not up on the distros enough
to know if this is true for all similar-version Linuxii, or just for
Ubuntu:

Linux karl 3.2.0-38-generic #61-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 19 12:18:21 UTC 2013
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
