I actually made a typo there (and in another one), as I got mixed up
with exactly that date. 9/9/2004 would be the better date, which also
matches with the '3 years after the RFC' part.

The sooner we flush out all the dependencies on ip6.int and clear it out
the better.

Why? I hear from a corner (there is bound to be someone screaming that),
well maintaining both an ip6.arpa and ip6.int tree is not that difficult
management wise if you got a good toolset, but it does eat quite a lot
of nameserver resources (read: memory) when you have quite a number of
prefixes and are reversing a lot of IP's there. As ip6.int can go away
as it has been replaced properly, better use those resources for
something else.

Greets,
 Jeroen
