That wasn't the case. The proposal is:

1) Allocate the bit
2) Use the bit value 0 to signify "default parameters" for ANY use (not just MIP)
3) Reserve the bit value 1 for future purposes

There's two important things here. One, point 2 is not just for MIP.
Second, we *reserve* the possibility to do something else than the default
use in point 3. We don't know what that something could be. It could be
something else than what Pekka mentioned about the IPRd mip mechanisms.
Just that it would be prudunt to not paint ourselves in the corner that
we can never have anything else than the default behaviour.
