 IPv6 guards don't end up with half of the (dual-stack) Tor client traffic.

 might take down your single IPv6 bridge.

 Yes, having a second IPv6 bridge for redundancy would be neat. However, I
 am not overly worried that the fraction of alpha users using bridges would
 bring the one down we have.
