I don't want to begin making the diagram too complex.

>> +--------->----------+------>------+--> canceled(7)
>> | | |
>> +---> pending(3) -------> processing(5) -------> completed(9)
>> | ^ ^ \ |
>> --->+ | | +------------> aborted(8)
>> | v v / |
>> +---> held(4) stopped(6) |
| | |
+--------->----------+------>------+

I only want to assure that the state diagram does not give the impression that,
to cancel or abort a job, the flow has to be back through processing.

What was wrong with my proposal?
