Can you abort an active build?

My question in a little more detail
A good question from Ovie Okeh on twitter: https://twitter.com/sixty5black/status/1098189193849815040
Are there any plans in the future to allow developers to kill a build process manually? That seems like a pretty important functionality.
This seems very critical for usability.
I'm trying to fix an issue on my Netlify build process, but I end up with deploys that get stuck, and I have no way to abort them. My only option is to wait 30 minutes for them to timeout 😞 .
^^ I agree with this - in my case I was new to the platform and changed my build command to the following, thinking that's how you would get it to run tests;
npm run test && npm run build
The effect this was having was that it would hang the builds. By the time I realised my mistake I'd built up a backlog of 5 builds with no way to abort them :(
