Ok, I think I got your point now, it would not change your exit's exit_addresses
field but it would result in a change for other exit relays that exited via their 
ORPort IP _and_ some other address (within the last 24 hours) - and the fact that 
it does _not_ include the OR IP would actually mean something (because currently
there is not way it would be included).

I would still omit that field if ORPort IP would be the _only_ member in the exit_addresses 
array because it increases size without increasing information.
