The point is that eventually, someone will notice that the IETF is lobbying hard for IPv6 as the necessary next step for the Internet, but that the IETF doesn't actually use IPv6 in its own infrastructure, and we are greatly embarrassed.

It would be like lobbying regarding global warming while owning 500 coal-fired power plants.  It doesn't make what you *say* wrong, but it looks very, very bad.  It suggests that despite our advocacy of IPv6 there is some great difficulty to going to IPv6 that we are not admitting.
