The enhanced status codes are often what ESPs use to make determinations about 
what to do with future email to that address. Different folks using the same 
code to mean different make interoperability challenging for bulk senders. If 
you do want an enhanced status code, pick one that’s not currently being used 
for something else. Or one that’s rarely used. Continuing to muddy the tar pit 
doesn’t help anyone. 

IOW, +1 to John’s “invent a new one”
