Can't speak for brand A, but Boeing has used fuel/oil heat exchangers to cool the IDG oil since at least the 757/767. With the advent of FADEC, the systems have become somewhat more sophisticated (e.g. active control of the oil cooling rather than the earlier passive systems) but the fundamental systems have remained largely unchanged in the last 40 years.
