I’d agree, with the slight modification of:

“…  if they later change their mind, you and any of the unmeasurable number of 
folks who happened to listen to ISO-3166/MA regarding the status of the user 
assigned codes will be on your own and could well be in a world of pain.”

(Only half :) — the reality is that lots of folks use the user assigned codes 
for all sorts of reasons and if they’re repurposed, it’s probably going to be a 
mess).
