Personally, I think this is a mistake.

The number of times the traceback screen dumped by an end user and 
mailed to me in a word doc has significantly aided fixing a hard to 
reproduce error is not insignificant...

...mindyou, I still wish Zope 3 had an easier concept of a customsiable 
standard_error_message, but maybe I'm missing something :-S
