Or, perhaps:
checkhints: l.root-servers.net/AAAA (2001:500:9f::42) missing from
hints; delete your hints file, it is now baked into BIND.
checkhints: l.root-servers.net/AAAA (2001:500:3::42) extra record in
hints; delete your hints file, it is now baked into BIND.

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad
idea in the first place.
This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair
of pants.
