Well, what if you had a server in division Y of company X that was named Xsomething, then company X spun off division Y into its own company and gave it the server, even though they still use the same server room and network?

This is not a hypothetical for me. Actually all my work spam is to the old domain, if it were up to me I'd just turn it off. But I'm not the only one on the domain, and I'm still straightening out how vendors contact me. They often have this weird thing about using customer company names to build naturalistic primary keys or something. I'm just glad Oracle wasn't involved in this one.
