I think the example should reflect the full set of lifecycle messages, including STOPPING=1, which tells the service manager that the service is already terminating. This is useful for reporting this information back to the user and to suppress repeated shutdown requests. It's not as important as the READY=1 and RELOADING=1 messages, since we actively wait for those from the service message if the right Type= is set. But it's still very valuable information, easy to do, and completes the state engine.
