Exceptions usually should be reported all at least once. Otherwise bugs 
may be unnoticed.

In theory it would be best to investigate each of such issues, find the 
real cause and fix it. Practically this is not possible, so some of these 
bugs exist a very long time.

Having more bug finders and developers fixing bugs would help. Usually 
each developer fixes all bugs he encounters completely instead of doing 
such workarounds like deleting troublesome config (at least I do so).
