Hi tor-dev@,

Ticket: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/32905
GitHub PR: https://github.com/torproject/tor/pull/1652

Considering that people had issues with the ClientAutoIPv6ORPort option, 
like when IPv6 was tried on IPv4-only connections in [1] and [2], I 
think we should just remove the ClientAutoIPv6ORPort option.

Plus, we are going to do real Happy Eyeballs in Prop306, making 
ClientAutoIPv6ORPort redundant.

Should we?
