Comment (by karsten):

 I think you have a point here. The exit scanner never included IPv6
 addresses in its scan results, so this looks like a documentation bug in
 Onionoo. Suggested documentation change:

 ''"Array of IPv4 '''~~or IPv6 ~~'''addresses that the relay used to exit
 to the Internet in the past 24 hours. '''~~IPv6 hex characters are all
 lower-case. ~~'''Omitted if array is empty. Changed on April 17, 2018 to
 include all exit addresses, regardless of whether they are used as onion-
 routing addresses or not."''

 When the exit scanner or another tool starts including IPv6 addresses in
 scan results we can revert this change, probably accompanied by a minor
 protocol version bump.

 Needs review by another metrics team person.
