This discussion started on the mailing list and it seems appropriate to open a task here for further discussion.

To summarize, there are good arguments to integrate certain codesets into the data models - clarity, simplicity, interoperability, and so on. For example, instead of defining non-standard medication route data, use the SNOMED CT codes and descriptions. However, there are various issues that have been brought up, including licensing issues, the significant work required, and if there is need for them. For example, FHIR is moving towards using SNOMED CT codes but there may be hidden licensing issues.
