Comment (by teor):

 Oh, and before you deploy in Tor Browser, you'll need #27647, so that IPv6
 guards don't end up with half of the (dual-stack) Tor client traffic.
 And you'll need more IPv6 bridges in Tor Browser, otherwise the load might
 take down your single IPv6 bridge.
 (Also, you'll want multiple IPv6 bridges for redundancy on IPv6-only
 clients.)

 Are there enough Tor Browser alpha users to shift a significant fraction
 of Tor network traffic?
 Or are there enough Tor Browser alpha users to bring down your IPv6
 bridge?
