A natural use of this status is for the client to prevent the renewal of the object. In some registries, the policy is to renew automatically a domain on expiry. A client may wish to prevent such renewal, because _its_ client hasn't paid, has bad credit, or whatever. I don't know if any registry actually implements it this way; the specification appears to allow the server to perform automatic operations irrespective of what the client settings are. And since it's in the interests of server operators to perform the renewal anyway, they might do that.
