Comment (by karsten):
I think you have a point here. The exit scanner never included IPv6
addresses in its scan results, so this looks like a documentation bug in
Onionoo. Suggested documentation change:
''"Array of IPv4 '''~~or IPv6 ~~'''addresses that the relay used to exit
to the Internet in the past 24 hours. '''~~IPv6 hex characters are all
lower-case. ~~'''Omitted if array is empty. Changed on April 17, 2018 to
include all exit addresses, regardless of whether they are used as onion-
routing addresses or not."''
When the exit scanner or another tool starts including IPv6 addresses in
scan results we can revert this change, probably accompanied by a minor
protocol version bump.
Needs review by another metrics team person.
