Does anyone from the Omni staff have any insight?

I'm not from the Omni staff, but I've been using OF since May 2007. I think the reason is that, except for the "Completed" status filter, Context view shows only actions that are in active projects. If there were an "any" status choice, Omni would have to either limit it to active projects (in which case it would not really be all actions with any status), or expand the implicit project filtering.
They did that with completed actions, because of the straightforward idea that people who wanted to see completed actions in Context view also wanted to see actions they had completed in projects that were completed, dropped, pending, or on hold. It's not so obvious what a user might want to see when choosing any actions in Context view.
That's how it looks to me, but I'm sure if I'm barking up the wrong tree, someone from Omni will chime in!
