This vote uses a simple majority. I have voted yes on "Allow exceptions in the engine and conversion of existing fatals?" and no on "Introduce and use BaseException?" and would like to elaborate on the latter. I am sorry that I was unable to raise this concern earlier (did not really become aware of the RFC before it was put to the vote), but I would prefer the following: * Introduce a Throwable interface * Let Exception implement the Throwable interface * Introduce an Error class that implements the Throwable interface * Use Error class as base class for exceptions raised by the engine This would be along the lines of what Java does.
