It still causes a flood of reports.  On the order of one every week or
two.  If having a default versionlock.list is taboo, then the error case
really needs to be handled with something other than a traceback.
Because traceback ==> bug to many many people.[1]

[1] This is partially influenced because apps install traceback handlers
to actually give you a nice interface to save and report a bug when you
get a traceback.  But that's because using a traceback to communicate an
error case is roughly the same as calling abort() from a C library
