It would be really nice to support some steps in case a stage is skipped due to the when block. I understand the motivation in JENKINS-47577 not executing some post block for this. However, without some support for this, one cannot send an e-mail when a stage is skipped or inform other tools about this, that monitor pipelines for example.

In my case this would render the really nice descriptive pipelines rather useless and I would have to stick to the scripted pipelines which results in a lot more code.
