[wp-hackers] Error messages.

[Robert Deaton]

Most of the errors and warnings that WordPress would spit out are more
PHP/mySQL errors than anything, and in order to diagnose and output
friendlier errors it would involve excessive amounts of checks against
many things. I think the real solution is exactly what is going on
right now, and that's having a community of people testing WordPress,
trying to break it, and reporting on the errors they find so that they
can be prevented.
