I assume you mean RFC 3630 "Traffic Engineering (TE) Extensions to OSPF Version 2"? This would be used by providers running MPLS, RSVP-TE and using OSPF as the IGP. As far as I can see it is supported by all major vendors. The reason you don't hear all that much about it is probably that a significant number of providers running MPLS and RSVP-TE use IS-IS as their IGP (we do).
