This is always the argument I hear from corporate customers concerning 
wanting NAT. If  mistake is made, the RFC 1918 space isn't routable. 
They often desire the same out of v6 for that reason alone.

I personally could understand the fear of wondering if your stateful 
firewall is properly working and doing it's job and how a simple mistake 
could have disastrous effects that NAT systems usually don't have. ULA 
w/ NAT very well may become the norm.
