I applied parts of the series. I think there was a bit of miscommunication.
I meant that we should use the invalid state as the only way to indicate
errors as long as the error state is something which can be reached through
hot unplug or other uncontrollable changes, and require users to monitor the
state transitions for confirmation and error handling.

Thanks.
