Are people signing messages using l=?

To move to Draft Standard, a feature needs 1) to be used, and 2) to be
interoperable.

From the interop tests, I know that various implementations are able to
verify signatures that were signed with l=. So it *is* interoperable.

However, if no one has deployed with l= signatures, then it can be
safely removed *because* no one is using it.

But if *anyone* is signing with it, then it cannot be safely removed as
part of moving to Draft Standard. Then such a change would require
recycling back at Proposed Standard.
