Thanks! I sort of suspected that this was the case at least for the
servers operated by RIPE NCC because of the history with K as you
pointed out above. I appreciate your quick attention to this issue, and
my (admittedly non-comprehensive) tests indicate that f.ip6-servers.arpa
and f.in-addr-servers.arpa are indeed now allowing transfers.
