I see a great benefit here, you could default to IPv6 for everything and enable IPv4 only as fallback that would allow to run Relays behind carrier grade NAT. I can get here 10 GBit/s symmetric but because the ISP did not get it's IP space 30 years ago (like some other ISPs which see no need for IPv6) it does have much more customers than IPv4 addresses, so running a Relay is not possible. And this trend will not shift back, you will see more and more ISPs which won't offer a public IPv4 address, simply because they can't get more IPv4 space. You see that even on the VServer market today where you can get very cheap Servers with a /64 but every IPv4 costs extra.
So loosing some relays which really can't enable IPv6 is for me
worth the trade off for many high speed relays which could finally
join the network.
I am unable to see why this is a good idea actually.
As someone said already, I too would be unable to provide bridges and relays thanks to my ISP (Telia) does not provide an IPv6.
But removing IPv4 only nodes from the network - you are basically removing a large chunk of relays from the network without any real reason.

Great,
than lets drop all IPv4 only relays from consensus 2020 finally.
P.S. whitelist me so it doesn't take days till my emails appear on the mailing list.
Thank you

Dear relay operators, I just wanted to let you know that RIPE has announced funding for The Tor Project to improve IPv6 support on relays. (RIPE is the European internet infrastructure organisation.) https://www.ripe.net/support/cpf/funding-recipients-2019 We'll have more details early in 2020, when we've worked out an implementation plan and a start time. Thanks for your patience with our current IPv6 support. And thanks to all those volunteer coders who have worked hard to get us this far.
