For good or ill, it's not going to happen. ES6 is meant to have a VERY small promises API (although you can use a library like Bluebird as a wrapper around the native implementation to provide a better API). A more full features promises API will be coming in ES7.

See, for example, the discussion about adding a .any() method to the ES6 promise spec: https://esdiscuss.org/topic/promise-any

The conclusion basically that yes it would be useful, but it'll have to be ES7 not ES6.

The good news is ES7 is actually named ES2016, and will come out in one year.

The bad news is nobody has actually stepped up to champion such an addition, so it's looking unlikely that such a feature would be implemented in 2 browsers by the mid-2016 deadline necessary for it to be part of ES2016.

ES2016? As far as I knew, the ES7 name was being kept, but the ECMAScript script would be updated yearly, as opposed to the 5 or 6 years between ES5 and ES6.

Well ES6 is so far down the editing path that any additions now are pretty much impossible, but with ES7 coming about a year after ES6 it wouldn't be a long wait for a bigger Promises API to end up in the ECMAScript spec.
