There was a similar one regarding bad page reason.

I am still trying to understand why enumerating all potential offline
failure reasons in a single place (i.e via enum) is not a better idea
than strings scattered across the function. Besides being cleaner, it
classifies, organizes and provide a structure to the set of reasons.
It is not just about string replacement with constants.
