To be slightly pedantic, it was a proposal to make a policy decision that the 
name SINK.ARPA should not be made to exist by those responsible for 
administration of the ARPA zone as described in 3172.

The proposal did not seek to update the behaviour of protocols or applications 
to treat SINK.ARPA any differently from any other name in the DNS.
