The idea of a "dontcare" status is demotivating and it is not at all in line with best practice.
It may be demotivating, but it is essentially just calling a spade a spade. The difference between "won't be reviewed" and "will be reviewed at the end of the world" is purely semantic. "Deferred" does currently contain a mixture of "do honestly intend to get round to eventually" and "don't honestly intend to get round to"; but separating them only exposes the question of which types of commit fall (or should fall) into each category, it doesn't answer it.
