Summary: delete the ipv6only.torproject.net virtual machine on 2022-04-27

AKA: does anyone know what that thing even is?

Background

While doing some cleanup, we noticed this host named ipv6only.torproject.net in the Sunet cluster. It seems unused and is actually shutdown, and has been for weeks.

We are migrating the boxes in this cluster to a new site, and that box is blocking migration.

Proposal

Formally retire ipv6only.torproject.net, which basically involves deleting the virtual machine.

Deadline

The machine will be destroyed in two weeks, on 2022-04-27, unless someone manifests themselves.
