Comment (by nickm):

 I still don't understand this part:
 > I have a question, though: why are we changing the semantics of
 ClientPreferIPv6*Port ...?

 That is, _why_ are we making it so "PreferIPv6" implies "UseIPv6"?

 And should we make corresponding changes in the manpage and in the note
 the change in the changes file?
