I haven't seen anyone chime in publicly that they think it *is* a good idea... and I doubt we will. But now what? I'm not sure that there's necessarily a whole lot of value in us coming out with a document "Using PTRs To Reject SSH Connections Considered Harmful" - I don't know that our doing so will necessarily motivate the authors of SSH servers to change anything. Certainly I think the SSH case could be listed in your document of bad things people do with PTRs in IPv4 that will break in IPv6. Where are you trying to go with this note about consensus?
