 Awesome! I'll start deploying changes over the next days. That will take a
 while, though.

 module.

 Agreed. I'd like to rename it to just servers. But we still have a servers
 module which is just another name for the legacy module. Confusing, right?

 My plan is to:
  1. merge/deploy these changes,
  2. remove then unused code from the legacy module,
  3. rename the legacy module to bandwidth, because it's only remaining
 purpose will be to produce our bandwidth history statistics, and
  4. rename the ipv6servers module to servers.

 Anyway, doing step 1 first. Keeping this ticket open until that's the
 case, and then creating tickets for the next steps.
