No, if everyone believed that IPv6 is the future, policies would not
matter much, and there would be little fighting.  Everyone would jump
through almost any hoop to get what they think they need. 8-)

But this is not the case.  I don't follow the v6 wars closely, but it
appears that several promised improvements over v4 won't be delivered
(look at the A6/bitlabel/DNAME deprecation, or even the protocol
design optimized for forwarding implementations which now are being
phased out).
