What is Model Status intended for?

When I create a model, the model status is In Production.   That's pretty straightforward.   In the model lifecycle, it can become:

1)   End of sales from the vendor - no longer available for purchase

2)   End of support

3)   End of life (company decision - we may decide continue using a model even after a vendor no longer supports it)

4)   All assets with that models are gone (which can be after #3)

Which one of these dates is the Model Status intended for?   I am looking for a field to record if a model can still be purchased, and wonder if it is appropriate to use Model Status for that purpose.

The OOB status values don't make sense and the field does not drive any functionality. You can configure it to fit your needs.
