Since the REPOS config section contains several templates, either @format or @jinja, injecting a string containing -ipv4, and since our algorithm uses the raw config file value loaded by the YAML loader, we are not able to detect this case and change these URLs and hostnames to -ipv6.
Solution
The proposed solution is to shift to a different approach - from mutating settings by an algorithm in robottelo to creating a self-contained configuration structure and including IPv4 and IPv6 URLs and hostnames in the config. Based on the IS_IPV6 setting, templatize the value of the actual hostname/URL config field.

Problem Statement
The REPOS section of the config contains
-ipv4hostnames despite theis_ipv6setting being set toTrue. This happens because we are looping through the non-templatized/non-formatted configuration loaded by the dynaconf YAML loader: https://github.com/SatelliteQE/robottelo/blob/a79da44f45e7ebfa53c49d9d8a20cfd538a51e82/robottelo/utils/url.py#L46Since the
