[dns-wg] ip6.int deprecation

Dear wg,
	 
I have heard from Bill Manning that ARIN has requested removal of their
space from the ip6.int tree, and I'm wondering what the current point of
view is for the RIPE NCC. I would like to see ip6.int dismanteled
'correctly', ie not in the way described below:

I wrote to ipv6-ops at lists.cluenet.de:

Bill replied:

Has this been discussed before? If so, I'm sorry I missed it :) What 
was the outcome in that case? I think it is a very good idea to have 
RIPE NCC and APNIC request delegation removal.
