        This is rapidly getting way off-topic. That being said:

        Of course you do. I've assisted numerous organizations with
renumbering and in many cases where this was necessary, we went through
cut-over phases where both blocks were valid. In some cases, this
cut-over phase lasted for over a year. On one case, it seems to be
continuing indefinitely.
