Comment(by ln5):

 Related to this, there's the AuthorityHasIPv6Connectivity option
 (implemented in #5974). If set to 0, IPv6 OR ports will be considered
 valid without being tested for reachability. The default is 'auto'
 which turns into -1 internally, making IPv6 OR ports _not_ being
 considered by a directory authority installing a new tor without
 adding any new config options.

 The idea is to change behaviour for 'auto' in the future so that it
 detects wether we're on IPv6 or not. When that happens, authorities
 which are on IPv6 will start considering IPv6 OR ports as valid. The
 options suggested in this ticket, AuthDirPublishIPv6, adds a second
 condition for actually voting on those ports.
