Topic: Status values in MedStat/-Usage examples

In my quest to understand MedicationStatement/-Usage, I was looking at the examples. In several cases, I was confused by the relation between the example description and the value of status (the links are to the R4 examples but seems to be the same in the current build):

1. "Patient reports they are not taking Tylenol PM" - in line with the description, this example has a statusReason and note indicating why the patient could not take the meds, but still have status = "active" - should it not be "not-taken"?
2. "Patient reports they were taking Amoxycillin in the past but are not taking it now" - has an effectiveDate and (later) dateAsserted in the past, but has status = "active" - should it not be "completed"?
3. "Patient reports they intend to use Mometasone in the future" - why is status = "active" and not "intended", given that this is a statement about the future?

We are right in the middle of updating the examples and the statuses and adding some adherence elements to MedStatement (J#19468, J#19470, J#28593).
