Speaking of Horde::fatal(), I was testing the propagation of errors up to
the Ingo functions the other night.  I revoked all but SELECT permission
to the horde_prefs table, and tried to add a blacklist entry... and the
prefs code called Horde::fatal() and spewed an error all over the screen.

What's the motivation for Horde::fatal() at all?  Shouldn't we (almost?)
always propagate an error back up the chain?
