If that day ever comes, and I doubt it, given, most can't even get it
right on IPv4,  then, it will be one less process in many.

So be it, I can't understand why some expect those with as tight a ship
as they can possibly run (because there are always limits), to dumb it
down, just for the tiny minority who in most the part CBF even looking
at if they can resolve their compliance issues.

Maybe, maybe not. If those responsible - the sys admins (so most likely
hardly anyone on this list since they are in the minority here as most
are, or were, before certain media types publicised this list and we
ended up with whingepoolers etc, network engineers, who would not have
DNS in their daily responsibilities) did their job, or were educated
(since we all know in small business often one employee has many hats,
including server administration, and likely would be unaware of things
like this).

Which is why I will not change my anti-spam measures for IPv6, like I
hinted previously, else it'll be 1990 all over again.
I'm human (yes, that might surprise some - shut up Tom if you're reading
this ;)),  I make mistakes, but I learn from them, and try not to repeat
them.
