Well this is a confusing point but it's rather an administrative decision to make. If indeed the network\server\domain administrator is not aware of his services he will either have or will not have decision to make.
It will depend on whether he knows what he is doing.
Mish-mosh or banana he will eat it one way or another.

One conclusion he will probably learn is that dns records takes from 24 to about 48 hours to be forgotten from dns caches :D

No, what I'm saying is that if

example.com owns an A record 203.0.113.48, and
www.example.com owns an A record 203.0.113.48, then

where does 48.113.0.203.in-addr.arpa point?

Some people will point it at example.com, some will point it at
www.example.com. What you get is a mish-mosh. No consistency.

If, on the other hand, www.example.com is a CNAME to example.com, then
it's crystal clear where the reverse record will point -- example.com.
There is no ambiguity or option for inconsistency.
