6bone is "IPv6 Testing"*, so it can be production quality, but it can =
also break.
But I think that mostly depends on the people using the space and what
they are using the space for, some use it to run 'production'.
Also see the following, as 6bone *will* go away per 2006/6/6 :)
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-fink-6bone-phaseout-04.txt
So, yes, you will have to tell the users that you are not routing =
3ffe::/16 anymore.
But nothing prohibits one to use RIR space as experimental btw
which is why I wondered why 2 prefixes are being used by the I root.
Greets,
