Adding them here might confuse people. And if we include ULAs then there is lots more that we should include as well. So while I understand your question, I think it would be better not to. The "confusing" part is that, while globally unique, their scope is not really global -- i.e., they are not meant to be globally routable. Wasn't there at some point an I-D aiming to clarify what "global" meant? -- IIRC, authored by Brian et al.
