Does this happen for definitive (= permanent) "no such user" issues,
too? If so, EX_NOUSER should perhaps be supported as well, to name just
one example.

This "blocking" is one of the knobs that are hard to explain to end

mandatory and what exactly they fix, and how.

changes before the release that aren't made available as rc24. Just
