which is highly inappropriate, as the three and only three states are
cast in stone.  this should be removed if we're going to progress the
document.

and this was codified in rfc 6811.  now you get to compare the two,
because any inconsistency would be bad.

last para of rfc 7115 sec 5

   Validity state signaling SHOULD NOT be accepted from a neighbor AS.
   The validity state of a received announcement has only local scope
   due to issues such as scope of trust, RPKI synchrony, and management
   of local trust anchors [LTA-USE].

actually, code removal is not an evil, quite the opposite.
