Unless I've missed something, RFC4193 lays out FC00::/7, not the /6.  So
while FE00::/7 may yet be unallocated, I don't think I'd set filters in
that fashion.
Reasonably, wouldn't it be more likely to permit BGP advertisements
within the 2000::/3 range as that's the "active" space currently?

FF00::/8 are multicast, FE80::/10 are reserved for link-local. In the
past you had FEC0::/10 as a kind of private addresses.

Allowing 2000::/3 is fine as well. Btw - what are the estimates - how
long are we going to be within 2000::/3?
