In an ideal world we should have done two additional things:

- Tell people that their script was going to generate OOPS for all ERROR and 
WARNING messages while working on it, so that people could appreciate how that 
would impact them.

- Analyse the impact on scripts that already implemented OOPS handling. 
Potentially, migrating those to the common infrastructure, or fixing them not 
to generate two OOPSes.
