Comment:

 It's worth noting that IPv6 client bootstrap works as-is (because they use
 tunneled requests?), so this task may only be required for relays (which
 use direct connections).

 But I might have this the wrong way around.
 I'm still not quite sure when we build a HTTP URL for directory requests.
 Can someone confirm this?


 We can move it to 0.2.9 if needed, but it's easy, so let's try to fix it
 in 0.2.8.
