The issue is whether or not users should be looking at those codes,
not whether they're similar to or the same as something that may or
may not have been reviewed in some other case.

If users don't invoke the daemon, and aren't expected to use the exit
codes, then they're private implementation details, and ought not be
exposed on a man page.  Otherwise, you'll likely get called out if you
ever need to change them.

Honestly, it's a nit, and I don't much care if you fix it, but I'm
surprised at the amount of discussion it generated.

OK.

The question was where users would go looking; it sounds like you've
got that answer.

"nbt:default" seems fine.

(In case it comes up, I don't have any more questions.  I'm on
vacation starting ... now.)
