Nick Coghlan added the comment: I think it's definitely still OK to fix this in 3.4, but I think it's borderline enough to avoid including in the last ever 3.3 release. Changing exception types always introduces a little backwards compatibility risk, so it's something I lean towards only doing in new feature releases, even in cases like this where the old exception was clearly not the best choice.
