I disagree with adding a member status for dropped member.

By resetting the status you lose the information about the
original status, as set when leaving the membership table.
Anyway, member status is part of the swim protocol, and should not
be used to reflect any memory management details specific to the
programming language in use.

Please either have a separate status for zombie members 
or simply check for refs == 1.

Re the word itself: orphan means someone who lost a parent. A
member which was kicked out of the membership hasn't necessarily 
lost a parent.
