[tor-relays] IPv6 Support or Uptime?

[Josh Lawson]

The Tor relay runs perfectly on IPv4 alone. I will leave it as IPv4 only until they fix the firmware for my router. The main reason I was trying IPv6 was that the Tor Project was pleading for more IPv6 capable relays.

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!
