Why would an MPEP section be reserved?
An MPEP section may be marked as [Reserved] for several reasons:
- The topic is not currently relevant but a section is being held for potential future use
- The section was previously used but the content was moved elsewhere in the MPEP
- The section is a placeholder to maintain a desired numbering scheme
