The size of the namespace isn't all that relevant in that, for any namespace, 
if it is filling up "too fast", one can quickly change the requirements to be 
more stringent. I'm pretty sure that has happened in the thousands of IANA 
registries, but the last time I checked, it happened "very, very rarely".

As I said in the meeting, none of these changes will happen without the WG 
being alerted. Consistency of registration is more important than trying to 
predict rare events in the future.
