Comment (by teor):

 Replying to [comment:1 s7r]:
 > While we're at it we might want to make a patch that will also cover
 IPv6. While it's quite possible to have multiple public IPv4 addresses on
 the same box, for IPv6 cases where we have just one public IPv6 address
 are rare. We cannot currently publish a descriptor that has only IPv6
 address, but are we testing the IPv6 addresses for reachability?

 No. #6939.

 The IPv6 address in the descriptor is the address from the first IPv6
 ORPort. `Address` is not used.
