Just curious: why was there a change from ip6.int to ip6.arpa in the 
first place?

And I suggest that those who find it hard to support both just go ahead 
and drop ip6.int themselves and see what problems this causes rather 
than push for elimination of ip6.int wholesale. In fact, it would 
probably be a good idea to keep ip6.int around forever. If nobody uses 
it, there is no harm in it being there. If people still use it, then 
removing it causes problems.
