Indeed.
It might not be relevant to the OP, but NOT having subnet 0 or 1 can be a distinct advantage if you ever come to access another network via VPN. It's "something of a pain" if you need to work over a VPN and the remote network has the same subnet.

Indeed, and that's the only reason I've not renumbered the office network (for the above VPN issue) :-/

So yes, if it's working, don't break it.
