Yeah, I am not sure of the long-term plans yet either. In discussions with the ports people the idea was fail-hard behaviour for a while, then we'll try error returns for a while, and maybe we need to see-saw a few times. The approach is still very focused on creating awareness amongst the "right people" who can fix things.
