This is how it is used in Commons (http://cgit.drupalcode.org/commons/tree/.travis.yml).

I do not think we should allow for failures, but it would be nice to get notified as soon as something fails:

The only remaining jobs are allowed to fail, or a job has already failed. In these cases, the status of the build can already be determined, so there's no need to wait around until the other jobs finish.

Hrm. I'm not sure this applies to us because we don't want to allow failure on any of the build jobs - a failure in the update tests should mark the whole build as failing...

I know. But you will be quicker notified on fails. I hope that is what i wrote :)

Ok, sorry, I think I understand this now! This will mark a build as failed as soon as any build fails. That link simply talking about the "allowed_failures" stuff for most of the article so it confused me. :-)
