Taking a quick peek at my own code, the only place I see that strings are
raised is in code that works with ZServer (e.g. "raise 'redirect'"). I was
not speedy to get rid of string exceptions in my own code, but except for
external compatibility, I think they are all gone now. Does Zope (clearly
the 800-pound gorilla in most backward compatibility discussions) still use
them heavily?
