No, but I think what everyone else is forgetting to mention is that if it's going to fail, we want it to fail as soon as possible, i.e. as close to the thing that actually went wrong. If we proceed past ENOSPC or whatever, we could get five or six lines further in the ebuild, and then some other command will fail but possibly with a crazy unrelated error message.
