Comment (by mackensen):

 I've refreshed the patch and made a couple changes to the previous
 patches:

 * Validation errors: 200. I agree completely w/bpetty. This isn't a 4xx
 error: the request was understood and the client received a response.
 * Closed comments, login required: 403
 * Duplicate comment: 409. I think this is better than a 403 as it's more
 specific. The
 [http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.4.10 RFC]
 suggests this is a permissible use.
 * Too many comments: 429

 I know it's too late for 4.0 but I'd like to see this gain some traction.
 For anyone using monitoring tools the default behavior is counter-
 intuitive and problematic.
