The same issue might be the case the other way around.

That are two completely different things. You propably did not expect the
service to go down either. But it did. So how is that different in someone
taking a full server down to 'fix' a service?

The 'damage' of that action is propably larger then the single service. So
shouldn't the rest know you took such draconic actions to fix a service?
Even if happened to be the only option.

Pardon me for noting this sounds a lot like guessing. But feel free to
show a reference.

And if you find conflicting statements then you know both of them can not
be true at the same time. I think you found out which one of the two is
true and which one is not.

In the end. You got the sources. If this bothers you so much you are free
to use them and rewrite certain aspects the way you think it needs to be.

If this is such a business critical tool then I am sure someone is willing
to pay for someone to rewrite this to suit your needs.
