I don't have the assigned numbers RFC handy, but i think there are
already a lot of non-assigned numbers in /etc/services.  After all,
this file does IMHO not constitute a list of ``blessed'' numbers, but
merely acts as a human translation tool.  Thus, being exhaustive is
more important than restricting to assigned numbers.  No harm will
arise out of this.
