That won't work for any deployment that doesn't NAT/NPT ULA space (which is
most of them) because without the label distinction a ULA source and GUA
destination might be chosen, resulting in one of several obvious classes of
unreachability in one direction or the other.

ULA and GUA must be treated differently for purposes of address selection:
what remains in dispute is exactly *how* that treatment should differ, not
*whether* it should.
