Doing so is asking for data corruption. Aborts intended to cleanup commands on the target, so they could not anyhow badly interact with future commands. Otherwise it is possible that an old WRITE command stuck in some deep corner inside the target, be bypassed by such pseudo-abort and then got released AFTER its LBAs written by newer data, hence overwrite new data by old data.
