The Lojban community wants the language to be stable, and the LLG is committed to that goal. If a gismu form were to be re-used for another word, it would have to be as an absolute last resort to fill a desperate need. I can't imagine what kind of circumstances that would be, since there is no shortage of unassigned gismu forms that could be used for new meanings.

Please do read the link, it explains it much better than I could do.
