Comment:

 Replying to [comment:9 teor]:
 > I am risk-averse and don't think we should merge this until we're ready
 to actually send IPv6 link specifiers. Because I don't know if this patch
 helps with bugs where we accidentally send IPv6 extends. And we can't
 really test it.
 >
 > ln5 is working on a proposal for IPv6 extends, so we should be able to
 merge this in 0.3.5 or 0.3.6.

 Moving this out of `merge_ready`. Lets figure this out ^. Maybe point to a
 ticket or sth?
