How is using a PI /48 any more or less wasteful than a ULA-C /48? If
anything, there is less ULA space (currently /7) available than PI space
(currently /3) so we should be more concerned about waste in ULA land.
Creating a new type of address space for "private" use just because some
companies are too lazy to figure out how to configure their firewalls (which
don't even exist yet) is not good engineering.
