Re: The case against A6 and DNAME

[D. J. Bernstein]

I propose retiring A6, DNAME, and ip6.arpa. The procedure for this is
specified in RFC 2026, section 6.4: we ask the IESG to change the status
of the specifications to Historic. Clients and servers will go on
happily using AAAA and ip6.int.

See http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/killa6.html if you missed the discussion of
why A6 and DNAME are a bad idea.
