> 3rd party: IMHO, if somebody relies on the error message, not error type, I think that the code pattern is bad usage

I don't think that we can be pedantic on how projects should be tested.

IMHO it's too risky. I rejected backports. The risk of regression in a *minor* release is just too high. Such "cleanup" change is better fitted for a new 3.x major release.
