Well, those categories are made with certain factions in mind. There's only one faction that could ever really be "ORTHODOX_STAGNANT". I suppose that "DESPERATE_DEFENCE" was intended for one of the factions, or maybe another one altogther. Like "REBELS" doesn't determine how rebelious a province is, and rebels can't be real factions, so I think that this was planned but droped. But experimenting is best.
