Yes, of course. Let's say i was more interested in knowing if people who oppose 
CTV would oppose
SIGHASH_ANYPREVOUT too. I think talking about activation of anything at this 
point is premature.

I'm not aware of any specific to CTV. It's just that the fields covered in the 
CTV hash are very close to what
ANYPREVOUT_ANYSCRIPT's signature hash covers [0]. The two things that CTV 
commits to that APO_AS does not are
the number of inputs and the hash of the inputs' sequences [1].
Not committing to the number of inputs and other inputs' data is today's 
behaviour of ANYONECANPAY that can
be combined with other signature hash types [1]. Thus APO_AS makes ACP 
mandatory, and to emulate CTV
completely it should be optional.
