Doug,

You should need no other justification to drop a zone from a name server
than to point out that:
1.  The GTLD name servers no longer delegate the zone to the old name
servers.
2.  The 2 Day TTL on the GTLD name server NS records have had time to
expire after the new NS RRs are in place.

In other words, if it is not your zone, drop it (always wait the two
days...).
