It's a useful distinction. I have found myself writing code of the form:
def test_old_exception_no_longer_raised(self):
try:
do_something():
except OldException:
self.assertTrue(False)
in order to distinguish between a regression and something new
erroring. The limitation of this pattern is that the test failure
message is not as good.
