Comment (by PaulM):
One possible backwards compatibility issue this brings up is in user
tests. Because unittest2 changes error reporting to be more verbose, users
who are doing the wrong thing and have written tests which compare against
exact, specific error strings (as was done in
test_client_regress/models.py), there is a possibility that some user
unittests may not work after this patch. This problem is introduced at the
python level, and it seems that the general Django policy is not to
support users who are doing the wrong thing.
