I think Ralph's point is that OMPI is providing the run-time environment

It's pretty easy to add a non-default MCA param / orterun CLI option to
say "abort the job if any of them exit with a non-zero status."
That's not a problem! Any more than a similar one to provide timeouts,
both on inactivity and on total running time (useful for teaching).
Unless options are unclean or excessive, they can be ignored by people
who don't want them.
