From my POV, it's not about following the lowest common denominator. It's 
about being able to provide a consistent and usable interface, and adding 
entries to the global menu that change just a few (or even one) protocol to 
the correct status surely won't be usable, since you're looking at an entry 
for every unique status in a protocol.
