The Battle of the Synonyms was put on-hold.
With the recent update, it fires a hook, and the hook-data describes the
queue-status as "deferred".
But the setting which drives it is called "queue_suspended".
Which word is better? On reflection... neither!
In CiviMail, there's some existing functionality where you can "pause" a
mail-blast. And it's basically the same thing: we keep the queue-data, but
we tell the workers to temporarily refrain from execution. And that's fine.
"Pausing" sounds less scary...
