Putting my ISP hat on:

- Our business customers can already have reverse zones delegated if
they ask.

- For our residential customers, should we be expected to delegate
lots of reverse zones that mostly wouldn't be populated? I can easily
see how this could lead to extra calls to customer support, extra
logging of failures on name servers, etc. In short, most likely extra
cost. Since residential service is a very low margin game, anything
which adds to the cost of providing the service is a non-starter. Not
gonna happen.
