Hi,

We have a bunch of exceptions that are mapped to 400 but should really
be mapped to 404. NoSuchPPA, NoSuchDistroSeries, NoSuchBranch, etc.

Fixing that is trivial, but we don't have a way of saying: if this
exception occurs when the webservice is using that service, use that
code, otherwise use that other code. We could probably add that
functionality, but is it worth it?

Changing this would break error handling logic that relied on catching
BadRequest to handle not found cases. Given that BadRequest is not
overly specific, it would make sense to confirm the error through the
string in that case, but I don't know if clients did this.

What do you think?
