Ah, I misread the intention.  And I agree with you that "failed
test" case is very likely to lead to "further changes/amends" and
not "aborted rebase".

Yeah, and "failed test" would not be one of the problem that would
invite the hint to "abort".  I am OK with that, too.  FWIW, I am OK
if the "you can abort" hint cannot be configured away, either ;-)
