Overall, I think that this is a great change (avoiding the need for various 
parts of the system to communicate through exceptions).

Trivially, and easily, I often find it useful to add mock-like tests for these 
specified implementations (implSpec), i.e. just subclass FSP mocking out the 
abstract methods to ensure that the default implementations invoke the 
appropriate ones.
