Could you include in the details what happens to ip6.int delegations?
I know a number of 'current' platforms that solely use ip6.int and
I'd rather see these platforms fail miserably when reversing and
thus semi forcing them to update their code to finally use ip6.arpa.

glibc (Linux) nicely first tries ip6.arpa and after that tries ip6.int.

I hope this all gets sorted out quickly, an approval by the IESG
is a big step in the right direction fortunatly.

Greets,
