Nikita, please, feel free:

1. To create a ticket to remove `stopProcess` method from the interface.
This improvement looks obvious to me.
Seems we can implement it easily.

2. To make all Discovery messages immutable.
This one more complex.
I think we should discuss every single mutable message separately.
Lets' do it in a separate discussion.

WDYT?
