Comment (by warner):

 Sounds good to me. Note that `NoSharesError` could be interpreted as an
 even-less-healthy version of `NotEnoughSharesError`, where there are so
 few shares that we couldn't find even a single one. So there might be an
 argument for reporting 503 in both cases.

 If 410 means "it will never exist", does 404 mean "it might come back
 someday"? Also, does 410 imply anything about whether or not it used to
 exist? Are there any normal-web-server situations that would correctly
 produce a 410?
