Adding something in STATUS that doesn't also exist in the SELECT response
seems somewhat weird to me.

(speaking of STATUS-IN-LIST, I appear to have just pushed back my non-standard
MYRIGHTS-IN-LIST extension to Cyrus master.  It makes sense - while you're
grabbing the status, you also want to grab permissions for the purpose of UI display.
We should write that up too)
