Ok, so it doesn't change the behaviour of the global status message system, 
just improves the not saved feedback mechanism.

It didn't before (asking as the one of the other hackers of the global status 
message system)?

IMO we need to redo the status message system and leave the 'queue' of status 
messages to have a manageable list of messages (like we had in the old days).  
This would be a better fit for server side custom away states.

Something like

add status message
delete status message
associate status with message (always go "Away" when selecting "Walking the 
Dog")
