Not a hope, the design point was exactly the opposite - that all prefixes
should aggregate as much as possible, which means prefix allocation
should be dynamic.

Yes, but what's new? When I reboot my domestic ADSL box, it renumbers
all hosts. They are always within 192.168.1.0/24 as it happens, but as
far as my laptop is concerned, it gets a new address each time.

As far as I can see, ULAs are an improvement on this.
