Such systems would be violating the spirit of RFC791 which says:
The identification field is used to distinguish the fragments of one
datagram from those of another. The originating protocol module of
an internet datagram sets the identification field to a value that
must be unique for that source-destination pair and protocol for the
time the datagram will be active in the internet system.
Are you aware of any extant systems that do this?
