I was gonna ask why they didn't use DHCP and then I remembered half the stuff in my home network doesn't either.

Still have half of the IP range available for DHCP tho

I think I eventually did install a DHCP server with a high-up reserved range for it to allocate IP addresses out of. The main body of machines were still statically configured, though, because we needed them on static IPs and I couldn't really get dhcpd to get it right consistently after a not too long amount of trying.
