It didn't seem necessary to me to provide either a 'rationale' in favour of
simple error/status enums, nor a suggestion of the obvious alternative, namely
an enum. Both seemed rather obvious. Flags are awkward and unusual (and, imho,
unnecessary here) - you need to justify why they are prefered/needed, not the
other way around.

As for the other things - ok/dunno, maybe Sebastian or others have opinions
that make these things go in one direction or another.
