Then they are abusing exceptions big time. Throwing exceptions for E_ERROR conditions *might* be a good idea, but for anything lower than that: no way. This also means that extensions usually should not throw exceptions at all, as they are not supposed to throw E_ERRORs that abort scripts right away.
