I don't agree. On the web, in production, even if this is a bug,
the page may down, the request may down, but not entire application.
And more importantly, the server should return a HTTP status indicating
that there was a problem and that the request should not be repeated.
Just silently dying does not work as well in a bigger setting where you
want other services to adapt.
And even better, have it damn well logged!
