of the errors.

Where several different conditions produce the same error,
|
||||||
|
the preferred approach is to create separate list entries
|
||||||
|
(with duplicate error names) for each of the conditions.
|
||||||
|
This makes the separate conditions clear, may make the list easier to read,
|
||||||
|
and allows metainformation
|
||||||
|
(e.g., kernel version number where the condition first became applicable)
|
||||||
|
to be more easily marked for each condition.
