Every geographical area that's eligible for a country code has a two letter country code, and lots of existing software has special cases to treat two letter TLDs differently. (Yes, we know about the IDNs.) There are plenty of two letter codes left, they're not going to run out.
I can think of no reason to reserve the remaining 3 letter country codes other than as a makework project for bureaucrats with too little to do. Surely we have enough of those already.
I fully agree with John Levine on this. --karl--
