Ok, stop that please!
Those status will NOT come back, they are/were useless.
There are basically only 4 status you can be:
Available, you can talk, you aren't doing anything important.
Busy, you can talk, but you don't WANT to be annoyed.
Away, you can't talk (you're away...), also means "I may not answear".
Unavalable, you can't talk, or don't want other people to see you.

Be right back and out to lunch are the same as away, both mean "you can't talk and/or may not answear", so why to have them? Oh! Because someone wants to have them back! =O

Don't know if you got it, but Windows Live is trying to get simpler. So you should know your contact's status just by looking to their DP frames or icon. No out to lunch, no brb.
If you REALLY want, you are dieying for it, go ahead, die. Or use the handy PSM.
