Depends, at some point you put the potential burden of fixing all those new tests on the person doing the cleanup, that should have been part of the original submission. > BTW, if you don't like the rampant catching and ignoring, is anything > preventing you from going in and fixing it? :) Nope, apart from time. There's also nothing stopping me from veto'ing the original submission and reverting it until it handles exceptions in a way that does not have the potential to hide bugs. Guess which is less effort for me. :-) > I suppose we need to > hear from Rick about his feelings around this before we go and reverse > his changes...
