Do you use or see FQDN capability?

I'd be interested in hearing if people set a hostname on their BGP
routers and send it to peers (internal and/or external).

I'm also interested in hearing if you see external peers sending it to
you.

I know BIRD and FRR support this capability, but I"m not aware of
others and I'm guessing it is relatively rare in practice?

Reference:

Yes, a long-expired draft.
