Putting my two cents in ...
I also would rather have both options. I would choose the keywords:
ABORT (same as END, and deprecate use of END as a keyword)
STOP (end processing with the accumulated weight, and the test status
status as having triggered, as requested by Matthew Bramble
and Scott Fisher)

Now that we've had two people wanting END to End with weight, can I suggest
a STOP action that would STOP processing with the current weight?
Essentially this would make the STOP action similar to what END was before
the last released interim.
