Perhaps it is because in the perception of the operator community, we do
not believe it will not impact us.  The reality is that once registered ULAs
become available, the next and obvious step will be enterprises that receive
them demanding that their providers route them.  Economic pressure will
override IETF ideal, and, operator impact is the obvious result.
