What about someone who prefers to have a permanent ULA so that devices
such as printers have permanent addresses? I think that SHOULD be
provided as a user-configurable option.

I think there's a philosophical difference behind that. My personal
view of ULAs has always been that their value lies in being provider-
independent and stable, and being always available for intra-site
communications. IMHO they are not temporary addresses for use during
a boot phase or disconnected operation.
