You can easily make IP reputation scale to IPV6 using the APL RRTYPE. See RFC3123

Realistically speaking, did you not expect that to be inevitable?
As access to the internet increases, the chances of SMTP scaling to prevent spam decreases. And as IP's become more numerous and 'chuckable' (so much more so with IPv6 around the corner), the idea of a blacklist becomes ever more useless.
What we need is a new mail protocol.. [But people have been saying that for decades now]
