Well, possibly.
The bail outs you'd keep long term are in big test suites where you
have tests that run early in the order (assuming non-shuffle) that
suffer a failure that violates the integrity of the test suite
itself.
For example, if your compile test can't compile your mail module, then
running the rest of the test suite is normally pointless.
Well, yes. That's basically what I said, but I was trying to generalize
to things other than mail modules ;-)
Typo... s/mail/main/ :)
I'm not sure why BAIL_OUT wouldn't be the appropriate thing in that case.
