Right. Fail fast is a feature here. Tasks that expect to not succeed
completely, but don't want to stop the build should not return a false "stop
the build" message. They should complain to the output, then let the build
proceed. What this means really depends on the task at hand -- different
criteria are used for each task so it's impossible for the core engine to
make such a judgment call.
