Ah, but we don't :-)  SAGA has a very simple state model
(new, running, done, failed, unknown).  However, the states
have 'substates', which can be queried, and expose the
complete BES state model.

The simple model above only exposes those states which can
be changed with SAGA calls.  As saga calls get added, e.g.
for hold, more stated might get exposed on that level.

Please have a look at

I hope that state diagram makes that clearer.  I am not sure
if it is in sync with the current BES states.

Another post to exactly that topic is at

Cheers, Andre.
