Okay, so now you have example.cno, what else ? IMHO the three example.cno form a complete list. There are no other common examples, and as you say local.* / test.* / example.* don't qualify as placeholders:
We probably would not be whitelisting geographic names like these.
local.museum, test.aero, or example.coop are not better than similar SLDs in any ccTLD. AFAIK some TLDs had a policy to reserve "all" TLDs as SLDs, but that was before the creation of new TLDs (aero / biz / coop / info / museum / name / pro).
