We'll be able to judge the right speed once we've released the first

Maybe this year before Christmas a donation call for IPv6 features could be made ;-)
Similar to last year, when the Mozilla Foundation doubled donations.

I'm not sure what our end of year campaign will be this year.

But we are working on funding for IPv6:

Lots of us care about IPv6. Our problem is finding *funders* who care enough

to pay for the time we need to implement this complex feature. But we're

working on a grant application right now:

It is discouraging to see so many small and large network operators not using IPv6. Why is this such a problem?

Tor relays don't automatically detect IPv6 addresses, and they don't test the reachability of IPv6 ORPorts. We are working on a grant application to add this support in Tor. (It's more complex than it seems, because we need to split the reachability checks per-ORPort, and add IPv6 extend support to Tor relays.)

Tor Project, please increase your #IPv6 awareness/outreach similar to how ARIN and the other RIRs try very hard to do.

I'll add an awareness objective to our grant application.
