Huh? You will simply use a /64 within the ULA /48. However, you should only generate the ULA prefix once and store it in stable storage; that should be a feature of your CE. Then you never change the ULA prefix.

> network devices that a network renumber event is being scheduled.  This can be sent as a multicast message that encodes the date that the renumbering will occur.  I realize that we need to understand the security implications of this.  This is just one idea that could smooth the renumbering events when then have to happen for some operational reason.

"MAY be a feature..." ;-) many (most?) will not even know about ULAs. :-(

Right; one reason I'm hapy that my ISP (in NZ) sent me a FritzBox.

I'd be happier still if https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7084
made ULA support a MUST instead of a SHOULD.
