I do, not necessarily because I want to catch all failures, but
mostly because I want to use the the number of failing tests as a
rough sanity check.  I expect that the number is low, but not
necessarily zero, in the normal state, but if I see many in a run,
that rings different bells.  If we stop at the first failure, it
becomes harder to do this, and having to go there and restart with
"this time run the full set" manually is not really feasible.
