Customers with *static* IPv6 addresses will certainly be able to get
the desired PTR records for their IPv6 addresses. This is the same
as for IPv4.

The difference for customers with *dynamic* IPv6 addresses is that the
size of the IP6 space makes it infeasible to pre-generate PTR recrds,
and I see no good reason to dynamically generate these records just
because parts of the IPv4 world expects them.

I'll let the market decide. For now, such a requirement isn't even a
blip on the horizon as far as I can see.
