Comment:

 Authorities should assume their configured IPv6 address is reachable, just
 like they do for IPv4.

 > Also strange: dannenberg votes on ReachableIPv6 but is not itself
 granted ReachableIPv6

 That's not surprising: voting on ReachableIPv6 requires outbound IPv6
 connectivity (like IPv6Exit).
 But receiving ReachableIPv6 requires inbound connectivity to an IPv6
 ORPort. Does it declare one in its descriptor?

 If it does, I'll email the dirauth list to let them know there's a
 misconfiguration, because it could end up with dannenberg not being marked
 Running,
