Why is error-page element commented-out in web.xml?

[Scott Battaglia]

Adam,

I don't recall exactly but most likely we started disabling it when people
started forgetting to change it.  We had one major deployment forget to
change the error screens and their backend authentication system started
having issues and upset users started contacting me because they followed
the link from the error screen to the CAS home page.
