Is 4.7.1 in fact useful as a temporary error in this case, or do we risk the wrath of the RFC wonks if stuff deploys that uses that?

There is at least one other perfectly reasonable justification for sending 4.7.1:

    450 4.7.1 Authorisation server unreachable, please try again later

So the RFC is wrong - x.7.1 is useful as a temporary error too.
