Me too, for exactly those reasons too.  I didn't know about the retirement.
(Sounds like JFESLER will be wrangling children.
I wonder if each child get their own /48?  )

My impression, having not read the code, that 80% of what it does is in the
client in JS.  I see that there are a few repos listed that provide feedback
for the outside IP address, and for the MTU testing.
Those would seem to require a VM on which to run this netfilter daemon.
What can we easily maintain if we just have some static v4 and v6 resources?
Can the outside IP address be as simple as a one-line PHP script?

I could easily provide a VM (v4+v6) in Canada for this, but I'd need help
with maintenance.  My javascript-fu continues to decline.
I don't remember advertising on the page before.

It would be awesome if RIPE or another RIR took over this as an official
tool.    One thing I'd like is the report in JSON format that an end-user
could download/attach to their support people.
