 The callbacks and handlers are:
 * `event_handler`: Called each time a new event is created in `ansible-runner`. AWX will dispatch the event to `redis` to be processed on the other end by the callback receiver.
-* `cancel_callback`: Called periodically by `ansible-runner`; this is so that AWX can inform `ansible-runner` if the job should be canceled or not.
+* `cancel_callback`: Called periodically by `ansible-runner`; this is so that AWX can inform `ansible-runner` if the job should be canceled or not. Only applies for system jobs now, and other jobs are canceled via receptor.
 * `finished_callback`: Called once by `ansible-runner` to denote that the process that was asked to run is finished. AWX will construct the special control event, `EOF`, with the associated total number of events that it observed.
 * `status_handler`: Called by `ansible-runner` as the process transitions state internally. AWX uses the `starting` status to know that `ansible-runner` has made all of its decisions around the process that it will launch. AWX gathers and associates these decisions with the Job for historical observation.
