But ... if we set a firm policy on this, then we could gradually clean
up the error messages piecemeal over the next couple of major versions.We could also make sure that any new features
compliedwith the
categorization policy.
Right now, how to categorize errors is up to each individual patch
author, which means that things are all over the place, and get worse
with each new feature added.
