We have managed to far to not make a distinction between batch and
streaming jobs, which was very good. Given that the future plan is that
streaming jobs subsume everything, introducing such a change now starts this
off in a wrong direction, in my opinion.
Defining a flag for what it actually should mean (i.e. is the job
stoppable) ties the change to the feature, rather than introducing a
distinction we work hard not to make.
