I'd prefer a geographically close IPv4 only server over one that is  
also reachable over IPv6.

And while add it, maybe change 'kernel.org' to 'www.kernel.org'.  
Although they seem to resolve to the same IPv4/IPv6 addresses, the  
latter is whats mentioned in the Fastly introduction message if one  
specifically does NOT want to use the CDN.
