Comment(by nickm):

 Seems plausible. Was there a reason you said this wasn't ready yet other
 than the self-testing issue?

 Also, is there any risk of unintentionally getting an ipv6 address when
 you didn't mean to?  If so, this patch is a little risky: it might make a
 working node accidentally advertise a non-working IPv6 address, thus
 getting the 0.2.4 authorities to mark it as down.
