Since get_oid() callers must handle failure when it returns non-zero, I would say "gently" is already implied by get_oid() and we could just convert those die() to error() or warning(). Unless some of those die() are very special that we need to choose which call sites should go "even gentler" where some sites should still die()? -- Duy
