Well, of course not necessarily... but at least I wouldn't want this burden 
that will definitly mean a drop of performance and worse scaleability for our 
deployed system.

The question is: for what type of user do we create those nice error messages?

Actually from our clients I can tell - they don't have the slightest idea what 
a specific exception could mean. And I bet same goes for most of the web users 
out there. If there is an error they will call anyway and I have to look into 
the logs. (Of course a nice page "Sorry, unavailable" is much nicer - but we 
need to see what is the price to pay.

But where it can definitly help to speed things up is at the development 
stage... No more: "wait I need to turn this category on - do it again" or "wait 
I need only 10.000 more lines to go through"

But of course people may see this differently... ;)

Well, of course... but I would model such conditions within the sitemap and 
don't use Exceptions ;) ...if they are foreseen...

Hey, I didn't thought about all that... sounds cool:)

- provide different logkit configurations?
