(1) When changing a Reserved field's meaning, the field should be
renamed. Usually we do this by numbering, and the numbers only ever
increase. This is because code might exist that uses a Reserved field.
Such code should be prevented from compiling, because that's much better
than silently breaking its behavior. So the new name of the field should
be Reserved2.

(If we modify Reserved2 later, it should be renamed to Reserved3, and so
on -- we should never return to a field name used before.)

Thanks
