I guess the people running the servers have found out that ip6.int is not that important and nicely let it rot away, apparently not enough/no people complain thus this is a good thing. It is quite bad to see that these 'important' (ahem) services have been so recklessly managed over the last couple of years. I hope the 'powers that be' see that it is just better to remove the ip6.int servers entirely and officially, that way at least people can know why they are broken: because they have been deprecated 3 years ago.
