I must admit that I've always thought of rev-srv as misinformation  
rather than useful information. I think you've demonstrated that it's  
difficult to use and doesn't reflect reality well.

Seeing as a mechanism for auto-populating rev-srv fields with  
accurate information is likely to open up a new world of pain,  
deprecating it sounds like a good way of improving the accuracy of  
DNS data in the RIPE database.
