The keep-alive feature is not quite the same as a fail-on-error on each task, it is more like a fail-on-error for each target.
I have test-driven it in my build env where I have a large number of c++ programs to compile. It is nice to able to change a header file and then compile all the programs again, and use next-error to hop tru all the errors. For the nightly build and for normal use however, I want to fail on the first error.
