If you ask *me*, I'd say *yes*, please do so.

(On the other hand I'm just a big-mouthed network operator sitting in a
faraway country who doesn't know anything about the political struggles
behind the scenes...)

I find this hole ip6.int/ip6.arpa issue distasteful, but as long as
people are using 3ffe space - which might go on for quite a while - 
it really should be possible to get a working reverse DNS using the
same officially sanctioned mechanisms as for 2001 space.  Otherwise 
implementations will go on querying ip6.int (or both reverse trees) 
forever.

If reverse DNS is officially declared dead altogether, so be it - but 
until that, please apply the same rules to all kinds of address space 
that are still in "normal" use.
