No. Because _you_ said you don't want this we settled on an OS-specific value and name.

I said I had some reservations about it's implementation, and that we had no immediate plans on implementing it. We thought the number had been decided.

I assume we should now remove this dead-wood and reserve the STT_LOOS
value instead.

Why reserve it? It's OS-specific. Nobody will crowd that range but you and if you should use it and it's a different value, then it doesn't matter either.

We try and keep track of various ELF definitions, so that we can at least identify them in a user friendly manner.
