ULA-C uses a different prefix from ULA-L, so nobody using ULA-C (if it 
passes and is implemented) should ever collide with anyone people using 
ULA-L.  The only possible collision is between two orgs using ULA-L, and the 
RFC covers the odds of that happening.

OTOH, one participant in this discussion has already created a voluntary 
system where folks who want to register ULA-L prefixes can do so, and there 
will be zero collisions between participants in that system.  That gets all 
of the supposed benefits of ULA-C without any additional work by the IETF, 
IANA, or RIRs and costs no money.  Bingo, ULA-C is now even more pointless 
than it already was.
