There is one other scenario. A backup and restore of a HA env. We
support this as a final fallback for cases where disaster strikes all
state-servers. We test that his can always be done. CI does see the
downtime. I think this is acceptable since a human chooses to bring
down state-server and none of the other services running in the
environment are affected.

In the future, when charms can report the health of services,
consumers of health data may have some sense of downtime.
