Feature Request: Resume from specific component for zerodowntime upgrade

I would like to request for a feature where we can skip over certain components in the zero-downtime upgrade playbook.

Scenario: sometimes the playbook fail on certain steps (restarting services timeout) and due to that I would have to restart the Zero-donwtime upgrade playbook and it would run again on components that have already been updated.

Is it possible to add a variable to control from where the upgrade should start from and essentially skip over components that have be upgraded? e.g. if i fail at the gitlab_rails component, I would like to specify a variable and the playbook should skip over all components that come before rails.

Could this be done?

Thank you.
