Oh sigh.  Thanks for the report.  I wish it were, but it isn't, so we
must keep trying.

Note that while fencepost has an IPv6 address vcs.sv.gnu.org does
not.  Connections to vcs will be using IPv4.  Connections to fencepost
from an IPv6 enabled host will be IPv6.

I am only peripherally aware of the recent changes at the FSF
datacenter.  It is possible they are using an IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel
for IPv6 routing.  Those were quite common before IPv6 connectivity
became common.  And even though IPv6 is 20 years old it is just now
getting used and *many* sites have troubled IPv6 connectivity.  (Says
me who is suffering through IPv6 problems on two other sites.)

Additional the FSF implemented some type of 3rd party DDoS mitigation
at the router level.  Because they have been getting hit with high
bandwidth attacks taking not just them down but other sites near them
on the routers as collateral damage.

So many things changed last Friday the 6th that it is difficult to
know which of the changes is causing the current connectivity
problems.

Thank you very much for your updated report!
