Yes, $? is not needed. exit or return is equivalent in this case though because of set -e. > Putting "|| return" or "|| exit" after all critical commands in your > script is precisely what you should do.

I consider all commands critical, and if one is allowed to return unsuccessful, I'd rather explicitly allow it with something like: can_fail || : I'm still curious as to why set -e is stripped in the first place?
