Maintain a separate table. Nmoderation in particular just uses the flag to determine what nodes it should show its moderation voting widget on -- everything else it handles by publishing and unpublishing. The behavior of the module wouldn't change considerably if some different mechanism were used, we'd just have to figure out what makes the most sense. (A 'moderation' module that adds the behavior we're discussing? Multiple states for the 'published' flag? 1 for published, 0 for unpublished, negative numbers ofr intermediary but not-visible-to-everyone states? That would be nice.) --Jeff

More importantly, what will moderation modules do without that column, and how would they do it? Namely, the new content_moderator and nmoderation?
