I think it would be easier in principle to put them at a different place in the class hierarchy than to make them some special kind of uncatchable exception.

Note that we don't want uncatchable exceptions. Rather, we want exceptions that aren't caught by bare excepts or very broad excepts. In many cases, we want certain knowledgeable code to be able to catch these exceptions.
