[tor-relays] is it possible to relay using ipv6?

[root]

I can't find any ISP in the Consensus that doesn't have IPv6 and more 
than 0,1% Consensus Weight, also one Relay at a FTTH ISP that offer 200+ 
MBit/s symmetric and only public IPv6 would gain more Consensus Weight 
than all Relays we would have lost due to that change together.
