Yeah, the frontend error message rework in [1]. That has exactly
the same constraint that it's likely to break other open patches,
so it'd be better to do it after the CF cutoff. I think that doing
that concurrently with Robert's thing shouldn't be too risky, because
it only affects frontend code while his patch should touch only backend.
