Unfortunately, "a VM" is misleading here, because `sid`, is the
_blocking_ HA resource, which is the reason why "VM" cannot be migrated
to the selected target node.

Sorry that it was misleading, but maybe we could either use "the VM" or
"VM {vmid}", where vmid = vm.get('vmid') I think in there.

Same here



Otherwise the new text is better, thanks for sending!

Would be a nice-to-have to also improve the text for positive resource
affinity rules in a second patch in the same manner so it's less
confusing :)
