This isn't actually true. What's true is that there is no consensus either way. Whenever we have discussions about this, a dozen people get up to say "no reverse DNS!" And a dozen other people get up and say "we'd like reverse DNS!" So the IETF really can't take a position either that there shouldn't be reverse DNS, or that there should. But standards exist that describe how you would do it if you chose to, up to a point. The question is, should we specify how to do the missing pieces? The goal with the dns-pd draft is to provide a mechanism that places this decision firmly in the hands of the operator and knowledgeable users, rather than simply allowing it to fail by default, or requiring that all users, knowledgable or not, accept the same functionality.
