Several state transitions in the pipeline automata shutdown the pipeline the moment it encounters a failure. This behavior is undesirable in production settings where pipelines can fail for myriad reasons, and it's good to have them stick around to be diagnosed.
Pipelines can anyhow only be restarted via the /start action after an explicit shutdown by the user.
