    Doing this has made the MSS more unreliable as unforeseen errors astonishingly often result in an avoidable application crash combined with loss of data. We should either a) distinguish between a hardened and developer mode b) re-add wildcard exceptions with unmissable, report this bug pop-up windows on occurance. There are many places where no action would be fine whereas an application crash is always a no-go.
