But you can just as well make an exception to allow errors when -e is enabled with something like
command || true, or even some warning message.I feel like, while it does occur, allowing errors like this is more unusual than stopping the script in an error, so it's good to explicitly mark this case, therefore -e is still a reasonable default in most cases.
