Personal preference/convenience cannot be the design basis of an
interface. What if I want 0=spam 1=unsure 2=nonspam 3=error? Or the next
one wants 0=error 1=spam 2=unsure 3=nonspam?

When we cannot agree on a scheme, leaving the interface (that is
externally visible and crucial) unchanged doesn't appear as unsound to
me.
