Not as such - a big exception hierarchy rewrite was rejected, but nothing specifically limited to the IO exceptions. Michael's response cut to the heart of the issue though - a richer IO exception hierarchy can make life interesting for compatibility purposes (especially when creating "file-like" interfaces to non-file objects).
