Does itunesconnect still lock out unpublished apps?

It used to be that when you created your App in itunesconnect you had like 90 days or something to submit your app for review or it would lock you out of that name. That was never really that big an issue as I'd just wait to create it until I was ready to publish.


Now, however, with TestFlight moving there, I have a conundrum of needing to send builds to my testers, but knowing that I'm well over 90 days away from publishing. Has that lockout been removed now? Is it safe to go ahead and create my app this early?

I don't know if that 90 day rule has changed - presumably it's in the iTunes Connect documentation - but I remember reading a few years ago about people submitting an app for review inside the 90 days and then rejecting it, which gave them another 90 days...
