Are there any other alternate registries for tracking BGP peering/tunnels
between IPv6 networks?  We use the RADB for IPv4 prefixes but it has no
provision for handling IPv6 route objects as far as I can tell.  I think
the 6bone registry still serves a useful purpose in this area for those of
us peering with ASNs still using 6bone prefixes.

Ok, we're officially returning 3ffe:8160::/28.  There are still some BGP
links using a few addresses out there but they'll be renumbered soon.
