I think the slice removal is easy. But getting rid of 'args' and making BaseException's constructor only take a single argument is not painless. But a warning should help get this done in a reasonable fashion.
The exception slicing is the only thing I ever thought was particularly odd - the rest of the current exception API has never really bothered me.
All I would suggest doing is to move the BaseException constructor closer to PEP 352 by always setting the message attribute to str(args[0]) rather than only doing it when the constructor is called with a single argument.
Regards, Nick.
