I agree, but a counter-arguement is that if you introduce many built-in
statuses you may have issues across the wide range of presence related
services that may support only a subset of those statuses.

But, you should file a bug report at gnome.bugzilla.org if you really
want to see this resolved - or at least considered.  Or search to see if
such a bug already exists.

This list isn't a developer hang-out.
