Well.. the same thing is true for 2 companies that get merged and both have
their 10/8 and 192.168/16 nets - then the router frobs get used.  I've heard
of one poor network engineer that had *5* 1:1 NATs separating one end of the
company from the other.

And of course, we all know that all RFC1918 users are conscientious about
filtering at their border routers.
