You also don't want to do it as you would also need massive churn in

Microsoft gets this wrong as they don't register the privacy addresses
in the DNS which in turn causes services to be blocked because there
is no address in the DNS.
perhaps the advent of IPv6 will result in people finally (*finally*)
giving up on this sorry excuse for a security blanket? (calling it a
"mechanism" is too kind)

Or perhaps it'll just make people register wildcard records at the /64
level in ip6.arpa :-(
