        A number of these prefixes were used in early documentation
        and as such were widely deployed by early adopters of IP.
        In the "bad old days" a large number of sites stood up IP
        networks in isolation, only interconecting -after- inital
        rollout was done.  Consider it as an early empirical trials
        with RFC 1918 space :)

        Based on the confusion, 192.0.2.0/24 was earmarked for 
        use in documentation... :)

        I know of no good reason why Juniper continues to flag these
        legacy blocks.
