Not sure that is a good idea at this point.  At least here, kernel.org
has IPv6 AAAA records while cdn.kernel.org does not:


bjorn at canardo:~$ host kernel.org
kernel.org has address 198.145.20.140
kernel.org has address 199.204.44.194
kernel.org has address 149.20.4.69
kernel.org has IPv6 address 2620:3:c000:a:0:1991:8:25
kernel.org has IPv6 address 2001:4f8:1:10:0:1991:8:25
kernel.org mail is handled by 30 ns2.kernel.org.
kernel.org mail is handled by 30 ns4.kernel.org.
kernel.org mail is handled by 10 mail.kernel.org.
kernel.org mail is handled by 999 bl-ckh-le.kernel.org.

bjorn at canardo:~$ host cdn.kernel.org
cdn.kernel.org is an alias for k.global-ssl.fastly.net.
k.global-ssl.fastly.net has address 185.31.17.69
