Full stop. I made that mistake myself various time, so I can talk 
from experience here.

This is a completely wrong mindset. If people have problem with 
checked exception, then there IS a problem with checked 
exception, not people. You won't be able to change people, so 
you'd better focus on changing checked exceptions.
