Safe deactivation / fallback status

[stevejburge]

If you move posts to a custom status and then disable PublishPress Statuses, those posts will disappear from the WordPress admin

Can we decide on a fallback approach?

@stevejburge This would need to be associated with a very intentional "delete plugin data" type of operation. On a normal Statuses plugin de/re-activation, it's important that posts retain their custom status. I think archiving / restoring assigned custom statuses for each post would be unwieldy and asking for trouble.

Moving milestones, as this is a significant task and it's time to move on with the current release.

I think it's important for us to think through the logistics of this and design an implementation that clarifies intentions, not rush into a change in the default deactivation behavior based on a few suggestions.
