Comment:

 progress update:

 code:
  https://github.com/aagbsn/bridgedb/tree/4297-ipv6-bridges

 live examples, (populated with fake bridges):
  https://tor.extc.org
  https://tor.extc.org/ipv6
   note that address/port combinations returned by bridgedb are selected
 from the or-address lines of the bridge. The randomly generated examples
 are fully populated (8 or-address lines, 16 portspec entries), so the
 bridge lines appear random but actually aren't. Perhaps this is the wrong
 approach. Comments?
 remaining:
  ipv6 FILE_BUCKETS, ipv6 client connections (untested), better tests for
 class PortList

 blocking:
  sanity check/code review.
  Can we allocate a VM for soft-launch/testing?
