Why don't you let the USER decide whether privacy addresses get PTR records or not. This is a policy decision for the USER not IETF, NANOG or any other body including the manufacturer. It might default off but that should be the end of it. This is about ALLOWING them to do it. Not REQUIRING them to do it.
