Um, I think you may have missed the point there. When all IPv6 forwards
have a valid reverse, the lack of such will be no indication of
spamminess at all.

Yes, I am "mixing them up". That's exactly my point. The division
between big and small, business and non-business is likely (I'm no
soothsayer to know for sure) to go the way of the dodo as far as
connectedness goes. The distinction between consumer and producer will
blur. Stances like yours, which presume such distinctions and seek to
disadvantage (even if for the very best of reasons) those belonging to
the "lesser" class, will become untenable.

The presumption there is that it is they who need to get their act
together. That assumption, with it's inherent co-assumption that they
need you more than you need them, is one that the coming decade may
challenge...
