If you mean this should be in the entry in the IANA charset registry
then the answer would probably be "maybe", but there would be little
point; of the few people who read through the registry, pretty much
no-one would take such a note as (the) reason to research the matter
in detail and then conclude the note is correct and abandon plans to
register a "new" encoding. A document that summarizes the benefits of
UTF-8 would be (slightly?) more effective.
