This RowStatus object for a client's conceptual row can only be observed in the active(1) state, and the only value that can actually be written to it is destroy(6), which forcibly drops that client from the ELAN. An admin cares because this is the SNMP-level mechanism for administratively kicking a specific client off the ELAN — there's no way to 'pause' a client through this object, only remove it outright. For example, an admin dealing with a misbehaving or unauthorized LEC would set this object to destroy(6) on that client's row to immediately remove it from the ELAN.
