That's close but not quite what I want. I don't want to halt execution entirely, just skip the rest of this play for this host. There are other plays involved that should be run (part of a multiple role setup). Also, if you use fail and it's combined with serial and max_fail_percentage it will cause the entire run to halt and for this play to not even be attempted on other hosts. I don't want this condition to trigger a "failure". It's more like "next" or "continue" in most programming languages. I know ansible is not a full language, but it already has lots of flow control capabilities I was just wondering if it had this one too.
