Again, 7084 says ULAs are a SHOULD (I remembered a MUST).
In my mind, the kind of reason for a CPE device *NOT* to offer a ULA is because
the administrator typed in their own (provider independant) GUA over the ULA.
I.e. one of the 8 people in this conversation (perhaps the world) who
*actually* has their own allocation that they use in their home.. (not via a
tunnel)
{my swap /24 is no longer at my home, and despite LRSA'ing it, I can't get my
own /40 from ARIN unless I'm willing to cough up $1250/year}
Perhaps there are other scenarios where the CPE needs to support turning off
the ULA generation and advertisement, but other than that, I read that SHOULD
as being pretty much a "MUST"
This is why I think the discussion is moot.
