But there can be multiple admins, or some time between the manual change,
if then someone tries to edit this over GUI it could be really confusing
why the state is as it is, so the backend is the correct way.
Possible backend states settable through API should not break GUI
(if they're just not exposed in GUI, OK, that's something else) and
here most of the time the two options are:
* adapt GUI to allow coping with all of the possible backend states
* adapt backend to avoid/forbid those states which are not wanted

Thanks!
