For sure; we're always expanding on that front. You should have tried
this stuff with Fabric 0.1 or 0.9.0...! ;)

Another related feature that might interest you is --abort-on-prompts,
which can at least turn unexpected forever-waiting prompts into
failures (especially good for headless execution such as buildbots.)

Re: having skip-bad-hosts support skipping past auth failures too, I
could see us making it more configurable in the future (so one can
select what classes of failures to skip past) but that's not the
priority ATM.
