teor,
Couldn't that be taken care of in the tor client code? For example, a
client, having chosen a path through which an IPv6-only relay, could extend
the path by one hop to tunnel through a node with both types of interface
published? A related question is can a relay with only an IPv4 address
published currently set an IPv6 OutboundBindAddress?
