Ahh, if you're not wanting to completely bail out of the play entirely then you have a few options:
1) start using tags to label your tasks and use the --tags or --skip-tags options to control which parts are run/skipped. 2) move those tasks into a new file and use "include" with "when" to control when those tasks are run. 3) split your playbook into roles (which can also use tags and when to conditionally control execution).
