That's only a problem if you want to reach your network from outside. Otherwise, Unique Local Addresses will work for local access.
or a dynamic name server outside. If the prefix were fixed, I could write an entry in the hosts file of my laptop to connect to my desktop computer, and it would not matter if the laptop is at home or in China. Scripts and things would continue working exactly the same. (no, I have not thought the security side of this) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)
