Hi Thomas,
The top 8 bits of fBits are reserved for the system. All other bits are free
for user classes.
Note, however, that if your class derives from another ROOT class using
the non-system bits, you should take that into account.

We are currently adding this information in the new documentation
that will be aavailable at the time of the ROOT workshop in June.
