So, the problem we've been having for a few weeks now is that a number
of crawlers have been scraping source.denx.de (and ignoring robots.txt)
excessively and making the server unusable for anyone much of the time.
The only solution thus far has been to implement some region-based
blocks, and see what the fall-out becomes. Andy, in your case it's
probably best to switch to https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot as that's
kept in-sync. Patrice, I'll follow-up off-list to see what needs to be
allow-listed for the ST team to access things.
