I suppose one could argue that the only difference it makes to anyone is th= at after running the function they need to change buffer back to their orig= inal buffer, manually, and it is really not a big deal, and that is why thi= s issue has survived so long (I'm assuming etags.el was pretty much the sa= me in 2007 in regard to this issue). But yes you're right, code that runs normally should not end with an except= ion.
