With v6, while changing prefixes is easy for some gear, other gear is not so easy. If you number your entire network in Provider A's space, you might have more trouble renumbering into Provider B's space because now you have to change your DHCP ranges, probably visit printers, fax machines, wireless gateways, etc. and renumber those, etc. And some production boxes that you might have in the office data center are probably best left at a static IP address, particularly if they are fronted by a load balancer where their IP is manually configured.

Or better yet, if Woody had gone straight to PI, he wouldn't have this problem, either.
ula really never should an option... except for a short lived lab, nothing permanent.
