[tor-relays] is explicit DirPort needed anymore under Tor 0.2.8.6?

IPv6 relays are still very useful for Tor clients.
I was only talking about IPv6 DirPorts being obsolete.

An IPv6 ORPort allows clients that use IPv6 to connect to the Tor network.
An IPv6 Exit allows clients to access sites on IPv6.

Some clients are IPv6-only, others can circumvent network blocks using IPv6 (both blocked guards and blocked websites) and others simply prefer IPv6 because it's faster or more reliable on their networks.

Please enable IPv6 on your relay, if you can.
