In the interest of fair and balanced discussion.

It is of course that, merely because IPv6 makes IPsec mandatory,
IPv6 can not be more secure than IPv4.

But, the real problem of IPsec is that it expected some PKI
could have provided the end to end security.

However, the real myth is that PKI depends on security of a
breakable chain of CAs, which is not the end to end security.

For the end to end security, only the end systems requiring the
security are required to deploy mechanisms for the security,
which means it is not necessary to mandate all the end systems
deploy some security protocol.
