I think the problem is not populating the new tree, but the resolvers that try to query a reverse address. E.g. standard Fedora Core 1 (which is not so old) still tries to query in ip6.int.
It will take some time to get rid of the "ancient" operating systems and as long as they exist, ip6.int. might be necessary.
Let's break these as quickly as possible. So that people will *notice* that their crappy libraries need fixing.
Ok, then we have the choice if _we_ have to spend money for maintaining two trees or if we want to force "them" to spend money for upgrading their systems :-) And yes, I saw the bitstring.arpa/nibble.int magic right away two days ago on a FC1 system of one of my colleagues and told him he has to upgrade to fix it. He answered "when he has time to fiddle about this". And again yes, querying bitstrings.arpa/nibble.int is an old problem and is fixed in all modern versions of OSes.
