joao, i agree as to utility. but for optics, i think it functions as a
statement by the network operator that they do in fact intend to run a
yeti name server at that address. absent that statement, the AAAA could
be suspected of being a typographic error. this is important in a large
project with loose coordination where "server address does not answer"
is ambiguous as to whether it's an intended server that has an
operational problem, vs. an unintended or abandoned server.

so, i favour getting working PTR's in place, and the TISF yeti server
does so.
