Comment(by ln5):

 Replying to [comment:2 nickm]:
 > We'll also need to do:
 >   * Let relays bind and declare IPv6 addresses.
 >   * Make the authorities vote on "a" lines in consensus network status
 documents.  This will involve adapting the bridge authority code from
 #5534 so that it works for regular consensus votes too.  Then we'll need
 to adjust the voting code and add a new consensus method.
 >   * Make sure the NETINFO cells include and use IPv6 addresses
 correctly.

 Thanks.

 Created #6362, #6363, #6364 to track these.
