Description
E.g. say you wish to connect to a large series of hosts but a handful of them are temporarily down or unreachable, or are “bad” (i.e. don’t have SSH, or your intended user doesn’t exist on them, etc.) Right now Fabric will just explode if it cannot connect, because we assume you always want to connect to all specified hosts.
In those edge cases, it'd be nice to tell Fabric to just keep going down the host list and ignore (probably reporting on) bad hosts.
