just my 2 cents: I think the new error message is very nice and helpful,
UNLESS you work on a bigger document, narrow your buffer and try to
export the narrowed portion of the document.
This does not work anymore.
I can agree with D. C. Toedt that it would be nice to have an easy way
to customize this behaviour of the exporter.

From this thread
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2015-09/msg00040.html>
I see that the exporter now throws an error and aborts when it
encounters an unresolvable link. That makes things really, REALLY
difficult. It means I can't get a complete, working export to HTML
(in my case) until all link problems are fixed in my 22KLOC .org file
(which I use to generate http://www.CommonDraft.org/index.html
<http://www.commondraft.org/index.html>). That seems EXTREMELY
suboptimal. (I'm trying to be tactful here.)
Worse, the exporter doesn't even generate a list of unresolvable links
before aborting. That means the only way that I can find and fix
busted links (so far as I know) is to do an export --- which takes
several minutes given the large file --- and have the export abort on
a single link. Then I fix that one link, export again, and have it
abort again. Repeat. Aaaargggggg.
I started looking at the hooks, as suggested in a message in the
previous thread, but I'm not nearly skilled enough in elisp to be able
to do anything useful.
Any suggestions?
