The only time you see 169.254.0.0/16 is when DHCP fails, or if someone really knows what they are doing and have a reason to use addresses that can not be routed.
Even so, according to RFC 3927, you're not supposed to have routable and link local addresses on an interface at the same time.
Well IPv6 does it all the time and requires it in the standard. Not IPv4 though. And I have not done them at the same time for IPv4, only ever when link local traffic was the only thing the interface was supposed to carry. -- Len Sorensen
