Should the error message when raising an invalid exception:

"exceptions must be strings, classes or instances" in ceval.c:2743 be changed to remove strings, since this is deprecated?

+1.

Also, should we add a PendingDeprecationWarning when raising a string exception?

-0. I think making it a nearly undocumented feature is enough for the coming years.
