I don't like the existence of a field named "status".

Do you not like the machine name, or do you not like the label?

I am unable to find a core entity that does not have a status field.

Excerpts from baseFieldDefinitions().

Taxonomy

    /** @var \Drupal\Core\Field\BaseFieldDefinition[] $fields */
    $fields = parent::baseFieldDefinitions($entity_type);

    // @todo Remove the usage of StatusItem in
    //   https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/2936864.
    $fields['status']->getItemDefinition()->setClass(StatusItem::class);

User

$fields['status'] = BaseFieldDefinition::create('boolean')
      ->setLabel(t('User status'))
      ->setDescription(t('Whether the user is active or blocked.'))
      ->setDefaultValue(FALSE);
    $fields['status']->getItemDefinition()->setClass(StatusItem::class);

File

    $fields['status'] = BaseFieldDefinition::create('boolean')
      ->setLabel(t('Status'))
      ->setDescription(t('The status of the file, temporary (FALSE) and permanent (TRUE).'))
      ->setDefaultValue(FALSE);

Node

$fields['status']
      ->setDisplayOptions('form', [
        'type' => 'boolean_checkbox',
        'settings' => [
          'display_label' => TRUE,
        ],
        'weight' => 120,
      ])
      ->setDisplayConfigurable('form', TRUE);

mechanism to archive a contact or other data object that is old, less used, or unwanted to remove it from search indexes, from default filters for lists of data, etc.

Yes, CRM provides a status field like every other core entity.

Eye color is common on driver licenses and similar documents.
Most medical records have eye color.

There are two questions for all the demographic fields:

Should it be included?
What should the defaults be?

Just because I am asking what the defaults should be does not mean the first question, to include the demographic field or not, has already been answered.

I think if we have a list of defaults we can better answer if the field should be included at all.

If you have a list of genders you think are better, please list them. There is not an authoritative standard.

The other fields from Open Demographic around gender do not belong in CRM, or are already covered by another field.

Are you intersex?

The sex field has an option for intersex.

Do you consider yourself to be transgender?

Do you consider yourself to be gender non-conforming, gender diverse, gender variant, or gender expansive?

There are scenarios where these questions are useful. The base module is not the place for them, they are too specific.

I think those fields make sense in crm_open_demographic (or whatever name you like), and requiring the gender field provided by crm.

There could be another module crm_mailer (or whatever name you like), that also needs a gender field. The goal is to have the modules use the same field instead of providing their own, resulting in redundancy, and making reporting more difficult.

Not every system that might be referenced would be considered a CRM by the end user.

What kind of system would have contacts that is not a CRM?

The namespace is crm_external. Calling in a system does not sound right.

In the US, the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) does have separate Race and Ethnicity questions but the way the fields are used is not separate.

The instructions state that for individuals who are Hispanic or Latino (i.e., the “ethnicity” box is yes), they are counted in the “Hispanic or Latino” category and not in any of the racial (Not Hispanic) categories.

https://www.eeoc.gov/sites/default/files/migrated_files/employers/eeo1/i...

Should that be two fields?

Like many things in America, the government has more than one standard. The Office of Management and Budget uses a single field for race and ethnicity.
