There are a number of places where we're reusing the same message for 
the same situation in different places (e.g. simple defensive coding 
null checks.) GSS was actually considering assigning some resources to 
convert those to separate messages. I have my doubts about the wisdom of 
that, but for sure I don't think we should spend energy now combining 
existing messages.
