... and then you are back to being bound to some IP addresses (for your DNS) belong to someone and you might not want that at all. Enterprises changing providers also need to change IP for their DNS, or simple get PI for these IP addresses. And if you get PI, why ULA-C?! Discussions on

So perhaps another question is whether it is too much to ask for more certainty (ULA-C) and less mystery (RFC4193 ULA)? So, you reckon the chance of an administrative error in ULA-C land giving two users the same prefix is less than the 2^-40 chance of a ULA clash between two users?
