I am +1 on trunk's current output, in both release mode and maintainer mode. I don't have a strong opinion on whether the above release-mode change would be an improvement. > I think I'd prefer using 1.7-style error reporting in 1.8 until we've > found a solution everyone is happy with.

The latter two print the maintainer-mode stack traces differently, and in a way that most devs find to be an improvement. I'd rather let it stay, because it's useful. There is a change nominated to 1.8.x/STATUS that only affects the maintainer-mode output, too. I'll go and ensure the STATUS entry has a clear justification.
