assigning .0 and .255 addresses to clients?

[Randall C Grimshaw]

I can say yes. Our ISP/Carrier was blocking these addresses, dot ones (x.x.x.1) also, even though our subnet was a /21. Strange but not worth pursuing at the time. We avoid assigning these.

Nope.  We still run into broken clients now and then (mostly embedded devices
that still think "DCHP" is just a typo for "BOOTP"), but not that particular
problem.
