But changing the registrar may indeed pull in a change of NS records, because there's a questionable rule for .org domains that if the NS records end in .org, too, their second-level domains needs to be registered at the same registrar as the domain they're responsible for, I own two .org domains and they're registered at different registrars as I wanted to avoid a single point of failure in my private infrastructure (burned child, etc.). I coped with that rule by adding additional DNS A records for my name servers with a non-.org domain (a .ch domain in my case) and everthing was fine again. PTR records seem to be irrelevant for the above mentioned rule.
