I looked at L-Root traffic the other day, and I was pleasantly surprised to see 
over 80% of queries with an OPT RR in the message. But then I counted the 
number of unique sources that never sent an OPT RR, and found that more than 
50% never signalled availability of EDNS0.

I stopped looking around then, but my assumption at the time was that we see a 
greater EDNS0 penetration when we look at queries rather than servers because 
servers retry with different receive buffer sizes, and those retries inflate 
the query stats. If this is what's happening, then it suggests that (a) EDNS0 
availability amongst clients of root servers is still low, less than half, and 
(b) there is a significant amount of middleware in the Internet that interferes 
with EDNS0.

It'd be interesting to see a more rigorous study.
