I have long viewed operational, or better accurate, reverse DNS as an 
indication that a network cares enough to set up lesser valued services.

Sort of like bars on building windows being an indication of the 
perceived security of the neighborhood.

The less that I see an operator do beyond what is required, the less I 
expect of them.  Conversely, the more that I seen an operator do beyond 
what is required, the more likely I am to want to do business with them.
