   I'm not really sure what you're saying -- do you mean "EDNS0 is really 
   needed in DNSSEC testbeds" and 
    a) "thus EDNS0 is needed" , 
    b) "and EDNS0 has been implemented otherwise as well", or
    c) something else?
   
=> b)

   AFAIK, most BSDs implment EDNS0 but none of them enable it by default.  

=> I believe the problem is that some buggy DNS codes don't like at all
EDNS0 queries.

   Linux glibc doesn't implement it.

=> please fix this!

   Microsoft does not implement it (not sure).

=> same (if true).
   
   BIND does implement it, but the *point* here is stub resolver support
   ("node requirements"), not the support in DNS servers.
   
=> but the deployment issue is more in servers.

   AFAIK, we don't have real deployment experience of this.  I don't
   think we know the full consequences resulting from EDNS0 use because
   it hasn't been widely used yet. Thus, I'm a bit hesitant to put
   wording as strong as SHOULD here.
   
=> please ask the dnsop WG if you have a doubt. And look at RFC 3226
even it should be updated.
