we will never know, because every v6 end system will have a ptr, either
naturally, or machine-generated for it, because v6 providers will not
want their rank-and-file v6 endsystems to be excluded from important
activities such as transmitting e-mail.

the operational advantage of not having ptr's for rank and file end
systems is much easier to explain, except to v6 endsystem providers.
