[tor-relays] is it possible to relay using ipv6?

[root]

It is end 2016 we should change from must have IPv4 to must have IPv6 
and can have IPv4. All this new fancy ISPs that have FTTH and give you 
500 MBit/s symmetric internet access have Carrier grade NAT because they 
were late to the Party and don't get IPv4 from the LIRs.
You can't run there a relay because of the stupid you need a public 
accessible IPv4 address shit. So i see there a big gain in making that 
change, because then the guys with the big home pipes can run relays 
too. On the other hand datacenters that have only IPv4 are very 
uncommon, so there would be no big loss of relays. Clients that are IPv4 
only can use Dual-Stack relays so they won't have a problem.
