For me, breaking source compatibility should be limited to what can be
adjusted to in my sources very easily. I would also consider whether the
breaks are for a cosmetic reasons for an actual bug fix. I would probably
pass on cosmetic breaks within minor releases.
In this case, an exception declared unnecessarily can make client code more
cumbersome, but not always, if other parts of the code happen to throw the
same exception.
More important is binary compatibility, which we should not break within
minor releases. What happens in this case to BC?
"Changes to the |throws| clause of methods or constructors do not break
compatibility with pre-existing binaries; these clauses are checked only
at compile time."
