Comment (by sirzooro):

 @kevinB: in fact post statuses are a special kind of taxonomy, dedicated
 to manage "post" workflow. In addition they have extra support for
 visibility in core - depending on status post may or may not be displayed
 on front side. In general that extra support in core should let you decide
 what is better: custom post status(es) or custom taxonomy.

 Few extra examples:
 - product page: draft, published, not available (temporarily), production
 stopped (page not visible);
 - ticket workflow: new, assigned, resolved, verified, closed, rejected;
 - movie page (for cinema): draft, screening/preview (there may be few of
 these), released, end of the screening;
