No, not at all.  It's just totally pointless.  Any IPv6 address is just
as pretty as a synthesized name.  Maybe even prettier. Do you prefer
"2001:db8:1::2" or "20010db8000100000000000000000002.rev.example.com"?

If we're going to provide any reverse DNS for end users, then it is
because we can create names which actually improves something.
