It's my experience that announcing ipv6 capability and actually not
providing - results in not being part of the cached consensus since only 3
authorities acknowledge your relay as running.

My situation was different all 9 directory authorities acknowledge my relay
as running, but initially only 3 granted me the stable flag.

Vasilis suggested an experiment where I stopped announcing ipv6-support a
while ago. As a follow up - after I had obtained the stable flag from all 9
directory authorities - Vasilis suggested that I re-enabled ipv6 capability.
