Turning off rDNS is equally likely to create an operation impact for someone else as it is for the offending party, therefore penalizing the wrong party. Using rDNS as an enforcement mechanism is likely to have unintended consequences.

You do realize that revocation from an ARIN perspective means:
	1.	Remove the whois entry
	2.	Remove the rDNS delegation
	3.	Make appropriate modifications to billing, if any.
