Seems a bit dramatic. Companies all over the world have been using other

"Well I just liked the pattern."
If you're not announcing someone else's space into the DFZ, or
otherwise trying to do anything shady, the three letter agencies aren't
likely to come knocking. Doesn't mean anyone SHOULD be doing it, but still.
Well...
If you're using 20.20.20.0/24 which is not "yours" (as I've seen
happen), then certainly your customers can't get to the real 20.20.20.x
And even if that's not announced and used /today/ - this can change
quickly...
