For a registry of this size with so few codepoints allocated so far (and so 
many reserved code points that can be allocated later) that could easily be 
extended later, this would be an example of premature scarcity.

This line of argument would allow Tero to not allocate code points for SHA-3, 
because it does the "same thing" as SHA-2. Let's not go there.
