Also, maybe in 2.5 we could begin warning about bare excepts that aren't preceded by non-bare exceptions.

try: foo() except: print_or_log_exception_in_a_way_that_is_meaningful() raise

doesn't seem to be incorrect to me. For example, if the program is a daemon, I want the exception logged somewhere so that I can see it later, because I won't be watching stderr.
