> Why shouldn't an address be in the DNS?

In the renumbering scenario they were discussing, you'd switch your DNS
entries from the old address to the new address at the start of the
transition period.  So the old (deprecated) address wouldn't be in the DNS.

Because the old prefix wouldn't be released back for reassignment until the
end of transition period.
