Some users could actually expect to see health checks sent to STOPPED workers 
but not to a DISABLED worker.

I'm trying to think like a newbieish webmaster: if they declare a balancer 
member +D they are saying that it is not in use: maybe the host is not set up 
yet, maybe it no longer provides that service.
STOPPED comes over as saying “temporarily do not use” whereas DISABLED feels 
like “administratively disabled”, “no longer in service”, that kind of.

I'd say this doesn't match how the balancer-manager portrays things. Whichever 
interpretation wins out is going to be worth documenting (I think?) to avoid 
that risk of confusion.
