Hi Thomas,
I have managed to implement the behavior you proposed in my latest patch
set [1]. I agree that this makes rewind-to-zero prevention mostly
redundant.

So you find your resume point a little more "precious" than you
originally thought, eh? ;-)
I understand the request; from a user's perspective, it would make
skipping forward work the same way as skipping backward: press Right
twice to skip to next track without losing the current playback
position.
Unfortunately, this will be considerably harder to implement. In the
regular case (when not skipping to outro), the resume point needs to be
reset when automatic track change is in progress, whereas you suggest to
omit this update when the outro was reached by way of "skip to outro".
I have yet to figure out a robust way to discern the two cases.
