Depends on your definitions of "increase" and "broken." If all the
relays disappeared tomorrow then the failure rate would be 100%, sure.
But that would mean a single, (more or less) instant, deterministic
failure that any modern OS ought to be able to handle intelligently;
rather than the myriad of ways that 6to4 can half-succeed now. To me,
that's a win.
