If its a fault in LP, then yes we should fix it. However, we want
OOPSes to always indicate that there is something developers or ops
need to do : its a server /fault/ reporting system. We don't generally
log OOPSes for 400 class errors; 404's with a canonical-site referer
are a key exception, for instance.
