 Replying to [comment:5 teor]:
 > In general, I think this is a good idea: this would encourage the
 adoption of IPv6, and make it easier to monitor for relay operators.
 I agree but solution isn't forcing Atlas to introduce arbitrary icons with
 no data from Onionoo to back it up.

 create a flag representing the presence of an IPv6 addresses in the full
 consensus. (The microdesc consensus doesn't have IPv6 addresses, so it is
 no good here, see #20916).
 A flag from the directory authorities would solve this issue (assuming
 Onionoo would then pass it through to Atlas).

 True, unfortunately all OR addresses are grouped into one array by Onionoo
 so Atlas doesn't see this distinction.
