The setup of my network makes it more likely that I could become temporarily
IPv6 only (incoming and outgoing), because my BBS IPv4 addresses come via an
OpenVPN tunnel, while IPv6 is native.  So IPv6 outgoing only can be useful for
getting in contact with me if things break.  Same for incoming only, because I
would lost all IPv6 connectivity in this situation.
