Funny how different situations can be. I can't get an IPv6 address unless I pay for insanely expensive business tiers.
I had a very small cheap ISP in France (Quantic Telecom) and they didn't even monitor their network for ipv6 issues. I had to report problems myself every other week. They had less than 90% uptime in 2023, so I ended up getting a refund
Oof, imagine having to put a single 9 into your SLA. You would be laughed out of the room in a commercial setting.
The IPv4 exhaustion is far more gnarly in developing countries. Something on the scale of hundreds of people sharing one IPv4 address.
If I want to get a public IPv4 address from my ISP, I have to spend extra. Some ISPs in my country simply don't give public IPv4 addresses anymore. They have completely exhausted their pool.

I wonder if they ever contacted github support, and what their answer was - rather than only posting on a public forum github doesn't feel compelled to answer or make official responses to.
