From: Shida Schubert [shida@agnada.com]

It's not for backward compatibility.

We couldn't come up with reason why reason should
be included in case of 2xx responses.
________________________________________

Of course, there is always the attraction of handling as many cases as possible uniformly.

But given that the only case in which the Reason is admitted is 2xx, and all 2xx's are largely created
equal, leaving them off has few disadvantages.

There might be cases when a 2xx carries a Reason showing a success code from a downstream
gateway.
