This provides better visibility into the execution of the phases -> I'm not sure about this sentence since this is not actually the reason we have steps (Though it is the reason why we expose steps in the ILM explain API). The reason we split the actions into steps is so we have better control over the execution of the lifecycle and so we know exactly which operations have been executed and which are still to be done.
