This wouldn't help, because there's nothing to differentiate the GUA from the ULA.

As I mentioned earlier, the downside to not doing this is that if a site gets flash-renumbered, connections on the local network that might not have broken if a ULA were used will break.   This is a fairly mild problem.   Additionally, we talked about advertising ULAs in DNS on the local network, and GUAs externally, so even devices that don't do DHCPv6 would benefit from this.
