You've missed the point entirely. whilst they are suggestions for Messenger Plus! Live, the statuses are still recognised by clients using the Messenger protocols, so it makes sense to leave them in.
If I set myself to "/brb" using Messenger Plus! Live, then any user on aMSN, etc will be able to see me as "Be Right Back". Why take out functionality that still works? It's not as if it does anything negative to WLM, it just sets you to the equivalent status.
