That way, every module would go through a central one for response code values and we would have full control over them and consistency.Yup; definitely.
In a past project I had a need to return 'special' response codes for certain internal conditions. Rather than using new codes in existing HTTP ranges, I started from 600.
Personally, I think this is an elegant and natural solution to situations where you need to give the client indication of a specific condition on the server.
