One point in favor of biasing toward non-exceptions (I still won’t say “none at all”) is that some parts of me are adversarial with the parts who are identifying rules. They can be very persuasive that this is a time for an exception, so it makes sense to have a pretty high bar (mostly: it contradicts another rule in the same ring) for making exceptions.
