I understand the existing Skipping Builds functionality, but I'd like to conditionally skip a build based on an arbitrary condition in my build script. For example, maybe you don't want to deploy if the branch is not master, so you do something like:

  script:
      if [ "$CI_BUILD_REF_NAME" != "master" ]; then
        echo "Skipping deploy for non-master branch $CI_BUILD_REF_NAME"
        exit 0
This is fine, but it's not very semantic: the CI view shows all green, when in reality it should indicate that the build step was skipped (yellow?).
