first of all, i'd say the ip6.int zone removal(s) will be pretty fast on
the top level...
Nevertheless, i already removed all delegations from the RIPE-db and
deleted all zones from the nameservers.

Some others put a fake ip6.int zone in place with a single DNAME record
pointing towards ip6.arpa.
This might prevent some annoying resolver issues if you still have
clients which look up ip6.int inside your network.
