I won't be working to convince you, as I'm not currently using bitten. All I can tell you is that my use case didn't fit into bitten's capabilities when I reported this.

I've been thinking about this, and not quite sure if it is a bug or a feature. I can see why it could be a problem, but I can also see use-cases for continuing. If commands depend on each other to the extent that one command cannot execute unless a previous previous command completed successfully, breaking the step into several steps and using onerror="fail|ignore" seems to be a viable solution for the uses I can imagine?
I need to be convinced this needs solving, and I'm not at the moment. I'll leave it open for now though in case someone want to add their thoughts on this.
