Max 7000S spare I/O pin

I've completed my design with Max 7000S and I about to have PCB made. I'm using all I/O pins, but one. I have a spare pull up resistor I could tie this unused pin too. What should I...

IIRC, Altera does not provide a guideline for unused pins for that family.

Leaving those pins floating is a good option, maybe connected to a test point (never know when you need an extra signal for debugging)
