If the world wants ULA to become the de facto GUA, no amount of arm twisting and bulling will stop it.

There are many cases where ULA is a perfect fit, and to work around it seems silly and reduces the full capabilities of IPv6. I fully expect to see protocols and networks within homes which will take full advantage of ULA. I also expect to see hosts which don't talk to the public internet directly and never need a GUA.
