Thats a decent workaround if the regex is too hard to work with; and I do
acknowledge that some folk find that. However the tempest pattern is very
simple - just add (?!.*ThingToExclude) to the front of the pattern.

testr can't support --stop in the same way as nose because it's a
meta-runner, not a runner. However subunit.run, like testtools.run, like
unittest supports --failfast (or -f).

So
testr run --load-list unit-tests.txt -- -f
will run single-worker and cause that worker to stop one a single failure
occurs.

I'm very open to the idea of cancelling other workers once a failure is
detected in parallel mode, if someone wants to work on a patch.
