Feel free to research this topic a bit and assemble such a list. While
the availability of existing implementations (or lack of thereof) does
not make or break a standard proposal, it may be useful to have some
insight into how popular a given mechanism really is. Having multiple,
hopefully interoperating implementation is certainly a desired thing in
the draft phase, but please do note that we're talking about published
RFC here.

If that information is of any use for you or anyone else, I'm aware of 4
implementations:
- patch for Kea (server), implemented by Tsinghua University, currently
semi-abandoned/stuck in review
- patch for ISC-DHCP (server), by Zagreb University
- patch for ISC-DHCP (server/client), you may know a bit more about this
as you were the implementor ;)
- Tsinghua University also had a very basic stub client implementation

It is not. Tracking current state of commercial and open source software
and its suport for published RFCs is in general case out of scope of the
DHC WG (any WG in my opinion). Otherwise, the traffic on WG mailing list
could quickly turn into endless stream of marketing-like announcements
from all DHCP implementations.
