Well, the effort is done; the code is there, including test cases.
There's also a cost in not doing it (for instance, time spent explaining
to people why this status code is missing).

That is true. We definitively need more test cases for the network stack.
For instance, I recently noticed that the Cache-Control header field
parser is, let's phrase it politely, very naive; so is WWW-Authenticate.
These problems may affect extensibility (introduction of new directives
or auth schemes), and might affect security (for instance, Firefox will
happily extract parameters from a quoted-string value in a new extension
parameter). See <
