Granted, everything is application dependent.

But....

It's just that I cannot wrap my head around the concept of several reports 
of the same status for each of 20K orders several times per day.

I sure don't need to know an order is still open at 2:00 when it was open at 
noon and my 855 told me it would ship today. It's just not important that 
nothing has changed.
