 Right now it is not possible to have a relay that is IPv6 *only* in the
 public network but one day it will.

 Proposal 224 makes IPv4 mandatory for link specifiers in order for a relay
 to extend to it. It would be wise to NOT make it mandatory and instead
 make it mandatory to at least have IPv4 or IPv6.
