With 16 routing bits to play with, the admin has basically the equivalent of
an IPv6 Class A (which contains 2**16 /24s). So yes, campus or regional
based aggregation is entirely possible: to exactly the same extent as with
a GUA /48, of course. In fact, in a network running both a GUA and a ULA
prefix, I'd expect the same aggregation plan to be used for both.
