In 0.2.8.3-aplha, "clients, onion services, and bridge relays always use an encrypted begindir connection for directory requests". Encrypted beginner connections are made over the ORPort. This means that in 0.2.8 clients no longer use any DirPort, and relays only use the IPv4 DirPort. IPv6 clients and bridge clients use the IPv6 ORPort.
In 0.2.7 and before, clients and relays only use the IPv4 DirPort. IPv6 bridge clients use the IPv6 ORPort.
Understood - so in the long run a DirPort is only used to serve the DirPortFrontPage
The IPv4 DirPort is used by relays and authorities. This isn't going to change any time soon.
