Comment (by teor):

 Replying to [comment:26 atagar]:
 > Hi Alex. Is there a ticket for implementing PT_STATUS? If so then this
 spec patch should either await it (if PT_STATUS's merge is imminent), or
 we should remove PT_STATUS until it's ready.
 >
 > Maybe I'm missing something but it sounds like a mistake to spec or
 reserve the keyword for something that doesn't exist. Doing so risks that
 five years from now someone will ask "What is this PT_STATUS thing?" and
 the answer will be "something we started to spec out but never got around
 to".
 >
 > Better to merge and spec PT_STATUS after it's done. :)

 We have reserved cell types and protocol versions before, and then never
 implemented them. atagar is right: if it is proposed, it belongs in a
 proposal. If it's in tor, it belongs in the spec.
