There were cases where code points were assigned but the drafts never made it to RFC status. While that made the code points officially obsolete, it would have been useful to be able to find what they originally meant, for (historic) documentation purposes as well as making sure they weren't actually still in use, which gets a lot harder if you don't even know *what* use.
