Description

On the table of the `Silences` page:

When an expired silence is selected, the `Edit` action in the menu is deactivated and `Recreate` is activated.
When an active silence is selected, the `Recreate` action is deactivated and the `Edit` action is activated.

What I'm confused about is that, when I click `Edit` on an active silence, the form that is shown contains a hint saying "Editing a silence will expire the old silence and recreate it as a new silence". Wouldn't it then make sense to have just one action if every action results in a silence being re-created? The `Recreate silence` form does not show that hint.
