I agree with Gert. I am seeing significant slowdowns with initiating v6-connections as well due to the DNS issues (int/arpa and bitstring/nibble). In my opinion, the situation would not get (much) worse if ip6.int and bitstrings stopped working today. If something seems to almost work, people rarely touch it. But if it (= ip6.int and bitstrings) break completely, the fixes could be in software a lot faster. The change will hit harder the later it is made.


Maybe a heads-up warning is in order beforehands, but the time from the warning to the time the big switch is hit should not need to be more than a few months at maximum..
