I agree that resource reservation is preferable during migration since it 
avoids failure due to lack of resources at the switch (after doing all the 
work of state transfer to the target system).

In other scenarios where the period of resource reservation is long, 
thereby diminishing the number of active vsi flows, the management 
entity might choose not to use resource reservation.
