 Replying to [comment:7 flixos90]:
 > Anyway, we should probably discuss this in a broader scope since there
 are also a `WP_Post_Type` and `WP_Taxonomy` class in the making which use
 a similar approach (see #36217 and #36224).

 Sure! Drew mentioned pointed them out to me as well. I have yet to review
 the most recent patches on those tickets though.

 I like the idea of handling arguments in a `get_instance()` method or
 similar. I'm not 100% fond of the current approaches anyway.

 This shouldn't stop us from introducing `WP_Status` in a revised patch.
 Such base class will surely help with handling the arguments in a better
 way, because it makes us think more about it :-)

 > That definitely makes sense. Just for an overview, can you outline to me
 which parts of WordPress have statuses? Not sure atm if there are others
 beside posts and comments. I would also like to broaden this discussion
 for the above two tickets - a post type and a taxonomy (and a comment
 type) are basically "content types", similar to how a post status and a
 comment status are both statuses.

 Posts, comments and users all currently have some kind of statuses. See
 also #36594 and #34316.
