Comment (by teor):

 In general, I think this is a good idea: this would encourage the adoption
 of IPv6, and make it easier to monitor for relay operators.

 Replying to [comment:2 cypherpunks]:
 > Previous discussions in #6355 and #21367 about adding flags that aren't
 assigned by the directories authorities ended with not adding them because
 they would create confusion. The same argument can be used for this
 ticket.

 There is no IPv6 flag, but the authorities do vote on IPv6 ORPort
 addresses in the full consensus based on their reachability. We should
 create a flag representing the presence of an IPv6 addresses in the full
 consensus. (The microdesc consensus doesn't have IPv6 addresses, so it is
 no good here, see #20916).

 > Additionally, IPv6 addresses are already shown under the OR Addresses
 field. Adding an icon would duplicate this information.

 The presence of the address in the full consensus is a distinct piece of
 information.

 Also, it would be useful to have an IPv6 Exit flag. This flag would
 duplicate the IPv6 exit policy summary, but in a much more understandable
 form.
