I appreciate that this change is controversial. However, I am also minded that there is no point in Outcome v2 covering the identical ground as Expected, just less well.

Can't say I agree with that. Outcome should cover the ground that needs to be covered. Not cover useless ground that nobody needs covered (status) just to avoid the "expected" ground. If that makes result virtually identical to expected, so be it. This is just a sign that both you and Vicente have the basic design correct. You will still differentiate based on implementation quality, extra features of error_code_extended, and the added value that outcome brings to the party.
