   Here again, I'd say, we should aim for giving a lot more self-help options 
for the users. Users will not understand what it means and effectively they 
will come-back to our issues/discussions when they see such message. Which - if 
they do - it does not matter if it says 'killed externally' or 'changed state' 
because we will know where in the code the message is generated.
   
   So if I'd like to improve this one, rather than only stating what happened, 
I'd link to a documentation page (troubleshooting) where users (but also other 
committers) could read more about the are that is affected here and what could 
be possible reasons for such problems. Not only that would be more helpful but 
it could be a good start to add more possible reasons as we find them. For 
example if we find a reason for similar issue which was unexpected, it makes it 
easy to just add a new "possible cause and remediations" to the list of those 
issues. 
   
   Over time it might become helpful also for non-committers - and users 
helping each other. Even if somoene will not follow such link or not understand 
consequences, another person looking at the discussion or slack, might actually 
do it (we've seen it multiple times in the past that when we had "common" 
problems and documented them, over time more and more people looked at the 
documentation and helped each other pointing to the docs.
