Enabling IPv6 support for GitHub Pages

Please don't block ttl exceeded packets... It will cause some very hard to troubleshoot network issues for someone somewhere sometime.

Amen, brother. Someone like your CEO at somewhere like his lake house at the end of a dodgy DSL line from Cletus's ISP and Bait Shop.

I kid, I kid...they didn't sell bait.

There are a lot of unpleasant failure modes to blocking ICMP without completely understanding the implications.

I agree… but some folks seem to think blocking ping and traceroute give you some kind of extra security.
