Comment #1 on issue 1045 by pekka.klarck: `robot.run` and `robot.run_rebot`
methods leave framework to inconsistent state if they fail
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1045
We decided to fix this so that these methods never raise exceptions but use
the same error reporting mechanism as when executing tests from the command
line. This fixes the original bug but also means that the methods returns a
return code also in error situations.
Always returning a return code ought to be a good approach in a high level
method like this. When we get a better running APIs (issue 826) users will
have a more fine grained control. The change is nevertheless
backwards-incompatible and needs to be mentioned in the release notes.
