There's a university with a 192.16x.x.x allocation who has written about the confusion it's caused.

Nothing that special about it from a CIDR point of view -- but is rather confusing to us humans when written as a dotted quad.

Github's GITHUB-NET4-1 is on 192.30.252.0/22, which is what reminded me of this.

Heck, the University of Waterloo has 129.97.0.0/16, and I see people get confused all the time between 192.168. (private) and 129. (publicly routed).
