Given that the other errors all reflect what specifically is responsible for the error given
the servers state, I was expecting an error like:
ServerIsReadOnly
Which clearly indicates the call failed because the server is read-only. The concept of "read-only
commands" is kind of strange, which is what the current NotReadOnly exception refers to (the
call itself is not a read-only call). ServerIsReadOnly fits into the current scheme of:
Command X failed due to condition Y on the server.

Makes sense.
