[Design] [D/f] [Last call] Questions for Dogfooders

[Mimi Yin]

So it seems like Event status is used in Chandler today, but perhaps  
it doesn't need to take up as much screen real estate as it does  
currently (ie. It takes up as much as space as things like Recurrence  
and Event title).

Event status for Anytime and @Time events don't seem to make sense to  
anyone, so unless there are strong objections, I am going to file a  
bug to remove it from the detail view for those types of events.
