It introduces the possibility for "additional" mis-configuration, as does RMX.
The point is that an IP address, I think, SHOULD have only one canonical name.

I stand corrected. I do not see that as a best practice (esp. related to
secure configuration of an IP).
I don't understand the second sentence. How is a system's security
affected by having more than one PTR RRs for an IP address?
I would agree that because many applications and support tools don't
understand multiple PTR RRs per IP address, it would be unwise to
build a large scale protocol or application that depends on them being
widely supported immediately.
