I thought about this thoroughly, IM Presence status is strongly defined by
its informative text we can customize, it is meant for human communication
use cases.
A session mode corresponding with what behaviour i'd like to have while
"busy" might automatically set my IM Presence state to "busy" aswell, yet
should be semantically seperated from the IM state.
