I think his concern is that if an SP generates a ULA prefix for a
customer, and that prefix happens to collide with someone else's ULA
prefix, the SP may wish to prove that it was a true collision rather
than a result of the SP's laziness or incompetence.

However, that concern does /not/ apply to those interested in ULAs in
general.  For the very limited community it does apply to, use a
provable RNG instead of the one in RFC 4193.
