[tor-relays] IPv6 Support or Uptime?

Hi Josh,

the Tor network is still mostly IPv4 (https://metrics.torproject.org/relays-ipv6.html), so I would say it's ok to turn IPv6 off on your relay for now, especially if there's a problem with stability.

Kind regards,
Alexander

If I do not do this, my relay stops functioning as I have torrc configured to use IPv6 and IPv4. So, my question is whether or not having a higher uptime is more important or having IPv6 support? My relay never goes down when on IPv4 only. I apparently cannot have both until the firmware bug is fixed. I appreciate it!
