Have we really being telling them to derive *directly*
from Exception, or just that deriving somehow from
Exception will become mandatory?
For the purpose of minimising bare-except problems,
recommending direct derivation from Exception seems
like a particularly bad idea, whether the exception
hierarchy is changed or not.
