 implementing things,

 Thanks, but you're allowed to question my opinions and expertise. I make
 mistakes, and it's better than we pick them up early.

 > but can you please revise the keywords of this ticket and confirm if
 it's really needs-proposal?

 I don't know how Tor should behave when it's configured to advertise an
 address, but there's no corresponding listening address. I think there are
 some good arguments for the current behaviour, and for the behaviour
 you're suggesting. I don't think I have enough information to make a good
 decision here.

 So I want to know what other Tor developers think. Some of them have more
 experience with IPv6 and routing.

 That's why I want someone to email tor-dev at lists.torproject.org with a
 summary of the current behaviour, the issues with that behaviour, and the
 proposed fix.

 If you'd like, you can do that in the proposal format - proposals can be
 short:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/proposals/282-remove-named-
 from-consensus.txt

 Or you can write a freeform email.

 But we can't make progress on this issue until there is developer
 consensus.
