-------------------------+------------------------------------
 Tor currently defaults to avoiding IPv6 directories and ORPorts.
 When #8374 and #4483 are implemented, we should change this default,
 especially for those clients that can bootstrap successfully over IPv6.

 I suggest we add an "auto" option, and make it the default. It would mean
 that the client uses whichever IP version it bootstrapped over.
