The processor in question " had a last minute stay of execution Friday night" --- so I'm not going to name names since there's no point in upsetting people.
The bottom line is that Visa is taking a hard look at AVS and deciding if and how they want to proceed with processing for them. Some people think that Visa will dump them entirely and are making pre-emptive plans to remove them from their portfolios.
Others are taking a more 'wait and see how it comes down the pipe' approach and are attempting to work with Visa to come up with a solution that is workable for all parties involved.
This is not about age verification as Visa sees it. This is about the fact that Visa is unable to monitor the sites that are in the AVS effectively and completely, as they want to do with everything high risk they are processing for these days.
