There is a missing comma after the conditional clause "In some situations,".

"In some situations" isn't really a clause, is it?

You're right, I think it's merely an introductory phrase, but still one of the cases where a comma feels better because there is a distinct pause.

You could even pronounce it as:

In some situations, [pause for 2 seconds for emphasis] exception handling is abandoned ...

I'm not convinced that this is a strong argument that the comma is "missing". I agree that it's nice to have the comma, but it was fine without the comma, too. I'll reword the commit message.
