Well for a number of devices they know what the codes that manufacturer
uses for such things are.  For other devices the codes simply don't
exist.  Removing a code is highly unlikely once it has been released
since there will potentially be devices out there that already respond
to that code so you can't reuse it.  There really would be no reason to
reuse a code either.
