If that happens, many people won't be able to run a middle relay at
home. Nobody in my neighborhood has an IPV6 address, and none of the
WiFi spots in town have one either.
IPV6 just isn't used wisely enough. If any change happens, it should
be *can* have just IPV6, and *can* have IPV4.

It is end 2016 we should change from must have IPv4 to must have
IPv6 and can have IPv4. All this new fancy ISPs that have FTTH and
give you 500 MBit/s symmetric internet access have Carrier grade
NAT because they were late to the Party and don't get IPv4 from
the LIRs.
You can't run there a relay because of the stupid you need a
public accessible IPv4 address shit. So i see there a big gain in
making that change, because then the guys with the big home pipes
can run relays too. On the other hand datacenters that have only
IPv4 are very uncommon, so there would be no big loss of relays.
Clients that are IPv4 only can use Dual-Stack relays so they won't
have a problem.

If I didn't understand right, a relay can use IPv6 but it
will **not**
bootstrap unless it is assigned an IPv4 address.
Does that summarize the discussion ?
Yes.
A relay *must* have an IPv4 address to publish a descriptor.
A relay can also publish an IPv6 address it its descriptor.

This option was introduced and deprecated in
the 0.2.8 alpha series,
it has no effect.
That's unexpected.
https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en
<https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en>
still lists this option. I went through this
manual page for anything
IPv6-related I could find.
Here is the ticket to deprecate that option:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/19704
<https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/19704>
It's just waiting for someone to write the code and
change the manual.
