Following the request from the community we investigated
possibilities to provide a pragmatic technical solution
for reverse DNS delegation under ip6.arpa, for the space
allocated for 6bone purposes (3ffe). It was understood
that the request was to provide a solution before a final
decision is made on the future management of the 3ffe
address space.

This issue was discussed between the RIRs at the IETF-55
meeting. As a result the RIRs have forwarded the request
to place the 3ffe space in the ip6.arpa zone to the IAB,
seeing that it would be an action that is contrary
to RFC 3152. If the request is honoured we will be able
to present a proposal for your review.

Best regards,

Because People Are Stupid(tm).  Because it's cheaper to put "ACL support: yes"
in the feature list under "Security" than to make sure than userland can cope
with anything more complex than  "Me Og.  Og see directory.  Directory Og's.
Nobody change it".  C.f. snake oil, P.T.Barnum and esp. LSM users
