I wasn't aware of IRC's requirement for PTRs.  I'll have to ask some 
others for background.

I'd be interested in learning what other things /require/ or are at 
least predicated on having PTR records for IPs.

I absolutely agree that having PTR records, especially records that are 
of some value, are a worth while thing to have.

That being said, I think expecting DNS servers to have fully populated 
ip6.arpa zones is a non-starter.  I don't even thing it makes it as far 
as untenable as I think a fully populated zone will cause most things to 
simply fall over flat on their face.

Perhaps this will end up being one of those unplanned differences 
between IPv4 and IPv6.
