EDNS is essential for the implementation of DNS Security Extensions. All
roots support DNSSEC.
Calling out EDNS0 at this time is moot.
(I’ll say that 2870bis is on thin ice, since the IETF/IAB have no leverage on
root server operators. This community can pontificate at length, but the
actual operations will
dictate, not some wish list from an “arms-length” standards body… Just sayin’)

EDNS0 very clearly falls under "best practices": no one can deny that. So,
to some extent, the expectation is already on the root server operators to
use EDNS0. It's not clear if the IETF saying "here's a thing we insist on"
will help the cause.
Seems reasonable. Thanks.
