agk, can you look over the proposed change above? If you are happy with it, let's check it in. It should prevent other users from assuming exit values mean specific things.
Verified new warning about the dynamic nature of exit codes/messages:
3.10.0-501.el7.x86_64
lvm2-2.02.165-1.el7 BUILT: Wed Sep 7 11:04:22 CDT 2016
DIAGNOSTICS
All tools return a status code of zero on success or non-zero on failure. The non-zero codes distinguish only between the broad categories of unrecognised commands, problems processing the
command line arguments and any other failures. As LVM remains under active development, the code used in a specific case occasionally changes between releases. Message text may also change.
Since the problem described in this bug report should be
resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
