 > if it's uncertain if the status is permanent, a 404 should be returned.
 Since archived entries may or may not be re-published in the future, it
 sounds like they should also be returning a 404 like the current
 implementation does?

 Agreed.

 410's have no place on the Support Forums/WordPress.org in general, the
 content is simply gone - perhaps temporarily, a thread may be re-
 published, or if one is deleted permanently new content may appear in it's
 place.
