RE: Use of ExpectedExceptionAttribute class in unit tests

"Not welcome" is a pretty strong statement.

"Exceeded our bandwidth" is more accurate.

One of the changes discussed in the past is in our 2.2.4 release. Additional
changes to ExpectedException are in the 2.4 release plan. Boris agreed to
work on making his particular idea an _extension_ rather than a change to
the NUnit core. Our focus on getting the extensibility mechanism working
right is aimed at exactly this problem: many people want many things out of
NUnit, and they can't all be in the core - or at least we don't think they
should be.
