 There are a couple places that contain switches for Post Statuses. These
 should be updated to use get_post_status_object() to enable more
 flexiblity and utilize the register_post_status() function of WordPress
 3.0.

 For example, in meta-boxes.php (wp-admin/includes), the status of a
 post/page/custom post type must be manipulated via jQuery when a status
 could simply be created and utilized within WordPress to use a new status
 like 'expired' or 'under-review'. Or consider a news company with edit
 revision cycles. These revisions don't appear unless there is a jquery
 hack in place.
