Throwing an exception in this place is correct imho and also presents a 
nice error message to the user.

But currently it is the case that all exceptions are logged, even 
t3lib_error_http_PageNotFoundException messages. If no error special 
handler is defined, renaming/ moving pages could fill your log.

So the question is (in general) when exceptions should be logged and 
when not. Should they be logged at all?

There's also a clean and easy solution for this, without touching the 
core. Implement and configure your own exception handler class and 
decide whether to log exceptions or not or decide by exception number 
what to do.

Kind regards,
Helmut
