-    That's a great idea! There are two aspects for IPv6 support that Tor needs. 
-    First, Tor needs to support exit to hosts that only have IPv6 addresses. 
-    Second, Tor needs to support Tor relays that only have IPv6 addresses.
-    </p>
-    <p>
-    The first is far easier: the protocol changes are relatively simple and 
-    isolated. It would be like another kind of exit policy.
-    </p>
-    <p>
-    The second is a little harder: right now, we assume that (mostly) every 
-    Tor relay can connect to every other. This has problems of its own, and 
-    adding IPv6-address-only relays adds problems too: it means that only 
-    relays with IPv6 abilities can connect to IPv6-address-only relays. This 
-    makes it possible for the attacker to make some inferences about client 
-    paths that it would not be able to make otherwise.
-    </p>

-    There is an <a 
-    href="https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/blob/HEAD:/doc/spec/proposals/117-ipv6-exits.txt">
-    IPv6 exit proposal</a> to address the first step for anonymous access to 
-    IPv6 resources on the Internet.
-    </p>
-    <p>
-    Full IPv6 support is definitely on our "someday" list; it will come along 
-    faster if somebody who wants it does some of the work.
