I think you just identified a key point of disagreement / philosophical
difference.
To my mind the idea that "we need to adopt policy to make people's lives
harder", in the interest of promoting our idea of their long-term best
interest, is an extraordinary claim that requires extraordinary evidence
that the benefits outweigh the harms.
I'm all in favor of easing the move to IPv6. However, I think we also
need to do what we can to ease the transition across the board.
