But in a word where multiple actors shame the same IPv4 address, a PTR
is already a wildcard. Should we get rid of PTRs for IPv4 as well then?

No, don't get rid of them, that not what I said. However, I'd be ok with eliminating the general requirement that all IPv4 addresses have a PTR. I'm not sure it is worth the effort of such a change in IPv4, but I would like to see us not continue the bogus requirement in IPv6.

Thanks.
