No, I did not.  Can't you tell from the fact that I didn't put one
there ;-)?

It does not hurt to have one there, but it is not necessary.

Because the loop itself does not &&-cascade from anything else, the
only case anything after "done &&" would be skipped and making the
whole thing fail would be when anything inside the loop fails, but
we already "exit 1" to terminate the whole subprocess in that case,
so we will not continue past the loop.

Likewise.

Thanks.
