Comment:

 I can also see that this looks like a nice idea. I cannot fully foresee
 how big of the request could be but it feels like it could require
 multiple changes, as most control structures are regarding the other
 statuses but not this one, so it will bring major breaking changes.

 I've seen there is a plugin that already achieves this functionality
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/unlist-posts/

 Still, I truly believe it is an excellent addition to Core. In fact, I was
 demanding exactly this for one of those docs SaaS recently. For a system
 like WP that can easily act as a docs platform, goes straight to the
 target.

 I'm going to review the plugin and give it a better second thought when I
 get some time. For now I will leave this as a `2nd-opinion` to see what
 more people think about this.

 It seems that already @SergeyBiryukov has liked this 👍
