Not at all... ULA as strictly address space that's theoretically unroutable
is fine with me.  I'm all for making GUA available for significantly lower
fees than the current pricing if it can be done practically. I am not for
any elimination of justified need, but, I'm actually willing to go pretty far
on lowering the level required for justified need.  Probably much further
than many other people.
