How hard is it to request a delegation (be put back) in the DNS?
Removing a delegation is not the same as de-registering the network
prefix, it is not the same as discouraging the routing of the address.
Keeping the action in perspective might help - we are simply editing
the DNS, not the network.
Is it worth noting lameness in the whois service?
Personally, I don't have an answer, but someone might have an opinion
to contribute.
George's proposal included adding a 'disable' mechanism to registry, so
domain objects could exist in the registry without the corresponding
delegations existing in the DNS.
