I wouldn't be too sure, but I believe these 'features' (name it as you like..) are already in use on .fr servers excepted for ircnet.eurecom.fr (yes, the one and only non vanity .fr server on IRCNet).
I wouldn't be surprised to see both following servers running engerim's mods within a couple of days;
- ircnet.kaptech.com (Kaptech / Worldnet France Paris) - irc1.fr.ircnet.net (IRCNet Villette-Paris)
