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.
