Yep, exactly.

This behavior, though, will change IPv6 prefixes in the home, which
will cause hiccups of IPv6 traffic within the home...  I know we would
all think ULA within the home solves all woes, but it's hard for
a user to know (or care) if their video streamer or NAS are advertising
ULA or GUA within the home, and which devices are using ULA or GUA.
I fear the in-home renumbering will cause IPv6 hiccups, and will be
"""solved""" by doing NPTv6 at the home boundary.
