here should not be blocked status. We do not expect any action from human operator

I don't think BlockedStatus is incorrect here.

The trouble here is that we don't know why it is blocked - this could be an incorrect image, network connectivity problems, etc. Basically everything that can go wrong with a StatefulSet. Because of this, this state may arise for something transient (slow container start due to a slow network) or something requiring user intervention (no network connectivity, etc). So we can either say WaitingStatus even though it might never resolve, or BlockedStatus even though it might fix itself.

@ca-scribner I am good to keep Blocked as soon as we provide clear instruction for humans what to do

ideally, we need to think how to differentiate between different causes of issues
