That's assuming ULA would be the primary addressing scheme used. If that became the norm, I agree, the extra uniqueness would be desirable, perhaps to the point that you should be asking an authority for FC00::/8 space to be assigned. But then why wouldn't you just ask for a GUA at that point.
Because you might want space that doesn't route on the Internet so that if your routes accidentally leak external folks still can't reach you?
Announce your gua and then blackhole it and monitor your prefix. you can tell if you're leaking. it's generally pretty hard to tell if you're leaking rfc 1918 since your advertisement may well work depending on the filters of your peers but not very far.
Joel, I have a condensate overflow pan under my computer room air conditioner that collects water if it leaks. I also have an alarm that alerts me if there's a leak and careful maintenance to prevent it from leaking in the first place. But I still have the pan. Even though a leak could fill the pan and overflow, I insist on having a pan there to try to catch the water. How many guesses do you need to figure out why? Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
