Huh?  These are for the old TLS 1.2 separately negotiated Hash and
Signature registries, that have been pouplated for quite some time.
We need to close them or reserve "all" free values in order to not
conflict with the new TLS 1.3 SignatureScheme registry that uses
combined 16-bit codepoints, but share space on the wire.

Closing the registries does seem to be a better match for our
intended future for these registries, but I am curious if you asked
what the procedure would be on the off chance that we did need to
reopen them for some reason.
