Hello.

`

- block:

- fail: msg=fail  
rescue:

- debug: msg=rescue  
always:

- debug: msg=always

- debug: msg=after-block  
`

Seems rescue block bring node back into health state and continue execution of tasks, so after-block debug is executed (tested with ansible 2.1 RC4).  
If I add fail task inside rescue – it will stop execution after always task.

Is it supposed behavior?
