Overlay Routable Cryptographic Hash IDentifiers (RFC 4843, 2001:10::/28) are currenty not globally reachable. Without this check a host with an ORCHID address can end up preferring those over regular addresses when talking to other regular hosts in the 2001::/16 range thus breaking non-orchid connections.
