With all the deprecating of "-state" trees going on these days,
the 'status' statement is getting lots of use.  

I understand that some feel that the status statement needs to be
placed on every node, since it is not inherited.  This sentiment
likely stems from RFC 7950 stating "If no status is specified, 
the default is current" and, of course, it not stating that status
is inherited.

I appreciate that this is just following rules, but it seems
excessive and I don't understand how any other interpretation
makes sense.

Also I question how it's supposed to work for a grouping that 
is used once in a deprecated tree and again in a not deprecated 
tree.  What if the grouping is defined in another RFC?  Would
we need to copy the grouping into the current module in order
to set status deprecated on all of its nodes?
