The question is always "how big is the break?" not "is there a

A fair point, and trust Randall to be the one to capture its essence.
I guess the question then is, if the changes are so minor, are the
benefits actually any bigger than the drawbacks? As part of a move
towards changing error handling in general, it's a good idea, but that
implies it is the first milestone in some larger plan, which doesn't
seem to be the case as yet.
