  Nonetheless, this puts you in the position of "fixing the Internet". 
It's a rather large job.  While there's certainly nothing wrong with
letting people know what they need to fix, there's a lot of merit in
making your server deal well with the Internet as it exists now. 
(Which includes a whole lot of hosts with bad reverse-DNS.)
