You seem to mix and match decision and dicision, the former is the
right spelling.

But more importantly, not sure I like where this is going, wrapping
the return value in some other status code. That also makes it a bit
fragile in terms of adding other status codes, another spot to update.
Like the decent distinction between RESOURCE and DEV_RESOURCE.

Maybe it is cleaner to just handle this in the caller still?
