a) Is Exception to be new-style?
Probably not in 2.5; Martin and others have suggested that this could introduce instability for users' existing exception classes.
b) Somewhat but not entirely independently, would demanding that all new-style exceptions inherit from Exception be reasonable?
Yes. Right now you can't have a new-style exception at all, so it would be quite reasonable to require new ones to inherit from Exception.
