#1
Since there isn't an open source example, I'm not aware of any OS's consuming this.

#2
Let me know your github ID and I'll grant you access to the repo.

Thanks Vincent!

# 1: Are you aware of any specific OS revision that already has this support added?

#2: Are you sure that's the correct URL? I keep getting this error message: 404 - This is not the web page you are looking for.

Thanks,
Tapan

For #1.
Typically the OS.  The platform already has its own PlatformRecovery.

For #2
There's a prototype available to UEFI members that was used to vet some of the changes during UEFI 2.7 deliberations at https://github.com/UEFI/uefiproto/tree/master/OsRecovery 
You can request access as a UEFI member to the repo if interested near-term.  This needs to move to EDKII staging since the 2.7 specification is now public, though.

Subject: [edk2] OSRecovery boot options

Hi All,
   I am looking at EDK2 implementation for OS Recovery boot options but could not find a code in EDK2 which handles OSRecovery#### option creation and a code to parse OSRecoveryOrder variable and launch OS Recovery boot options.

Questions:

1.       Who is responsible to create OSRecovery#### boot options and OSRecoveryOrder variable? Is UEFI platform owner or OS vendor responsible to create?

2.       Is there an existing BDS implementation out there to manage/launch OS Recovery boot options?

Thanks,
Tapan
