The prefixes centi-, deci-, deca and hecto are fully recognized side by side
with the 1000-pattern and Gustaf is right. Also see p. 103 of the SI
brochure by the BIPM, it gives all recognized prefixes,

What is this idea about only using 1000-multiples?
The cm and cL are two of the most useful units in everyday-metric system.
The might not fit in some 1000-pattern but that is no reason to prevent
people from using them. Ordinary people don't care about 1000-patterns.
