Adding an option that aborts and trashes the state directory is much
worse than not having a choice other than drop and keep, which is in
turn a bit worse than having a way to countermand an option that was
given earlier on the command line.
If we were to have an option other than drop/keep, as Elijah
suggested, it may make sense to call it "stop" rather than "die" (I
think "ask" is a mistake, as we do not ask anything to the user).

This still stands, too.
Thanks.
