 Is it documented where what type of failures cause the entire bulk build 
 to stop?
 
 Since a bulk build should be consider an unattended and very time 
 consuming task, it is understandable that an a entire failure would be 
 quite frustrating and disappointing (especially since not everyone can 
 stand by and babysit a bulk build and may not be able to check it for a 
 day or so).
 
 Nevertheless, I can understand how some individual failures may have 
 larger repercussions.
