The following violate that convention.
Eh, most of the other descriptions with multiple sentences don't do that,
Apples and oranges.
so IMHO there's no need for the special values to go in their own fragment.
The examples shown look sloppy, IMHO; standing out since the other 50, mostly due to the defaults being the only sentence in the gettext_noop, do line up nicely with either a number or "The empty string" as the lead.
the worst offender is:
- "lost before a connection is considered dead. A value of 0 uses the " - "system default."), + "lost before a connection is considered dead. 0 " + "means use the system default."),
Even if the diff has logic to it - only remove stuff from the first line, only add stuff to the second, it isn't a big enough gain to offset leaving the source ugly, IMHO.
