Very bad of me to be so late responding. I have put aside all minor wrinkles
because of that.

Possible meanings are...

"PCE peer requires retention"
"PCE peer does not require removal"
"PCE peer requests removal"
"PCE peer requests retention"

You should say!

It works, but seems suboptimal. 
The intent is "make the group no longer contain the LSP".
The sender now has to handle two "success" results:
1. working as normal
2. this error case

Thanks for the work,
