What reason could you possibly have to use non RFC 1918 space on a
closed network?  It's very bad practice - unfortunately I do see it done

There are sometimes good reasons to do this, for instance to ensure
uniqueness in the face of mergers and acquisitions.

How does that help?  If you are renumbering due to a merger, couldn't
you just agree on separate private space just as easily?
