these years, it is one of the things when considering a provider from
which one gets address space.

part of the problem is that this used not to be the case.  "rdns is not
really useful" was the common thought.  so many isps did not pay it much
attention.  now, more and more services are using rdns mapping to defend
against crapola.  so it has become useful, and quite needed in some
cases.

but it is notalways easy to justify to management the costs of cleaning
it up, often involving your provider, sometimes your provider's
provider, and on up the chain.

i have three /48s from an upstream.  rdns is delegated, whew!  but they
are not dnssec signing.  this has yet to cause pain, but i expect it
will somewhere down the road.

Because your ISP can't be bothered.


Is such unbotherability legitimate?


There's no law against bad customer service... usually the market will
eventually fix this (as in "some other ISP will offer IPv6 and proper
reverse DNS").  For reasons not clear to me, Italian ISPs do take
their time in rolling out IPv6... so maybe a bit more patience will
get you there.



That's right.  Big ISPs play big ads, but only serve mass users.  Small ISPs 
exist, but are hard to find and don't properly advertise what services they do.




(This said, sending mails over IPv6 is a bit of hit and miss anyway,
with Google inventing new requirements on IPv6 connections that are
not there for IPv4...)



I'm trying to use IPv6 only when there's no IPv4, but at times a DNS delay can 
make the server make the wrong choice...

I appreciate the fact that my provider endowed me with a bunch of IPv6 
addresses.  Previous ISPs couldn't put up with it.  However, to have addresses 
and not being able to use them is not much of an advancement.
