The major PC/Mac/Linux web browsers do, but those are not the only TLS clients out there. I can see that it could be a big issue for clients that today do not send extensions. Not because extensions themselves are difficult to implement, but as Eric pointed out, the fallback logic could be very difficult to implement (and may require changing applications), and most importantly, if you don't send extensions currently, you don't really know whether you need the fallback logic before you've broken things that work today...
