Are you in agreement that, fundamentally, error messages
should be propagated and not anonymized?
I am.

I've tried that for lots of patches through the years. I'm trying something
a bit different this time to see if I have any better luck. It's an experiment
if you will.
I'm not sure you're going to have much success
since ultimately someone should be opening a
bugzilla report. All you're doing is making more work for committers
Interestingly, you didn't supply the key piece of
information I requested. Reproducibility steps.
