I'm marking this invalid - let me explain.
We mark exceptions for machine readable status on a case by case basis. The infrastructure for doing it already exists.
If we haven't marked it as machine readable, then by definition its not machine readable yet. This bug is asking AIUI for a systematic 'make all not-marked exceptions machine readable'. I don't think this makes sense: we have a drive-to-zero policy on oopses and timeouts, and any exception that isn't marked as machine readable will show up in the lists of things we're driving to zero.
The result of a developers analysis of that will be to either fix it, or mark it as machine readable because its a logic error on the client causing it.
Either way, we don't need a work item saying we should do this, because we're already doing it.
