Vlad,

Definitely such wishes offer nothing and so I would say they can go without impact.

If 'one for each issue' means, really, one for each message, then I do not agree. I look at existing wish #522 and its comments and I think that it gets the correct message across and the comments reinforce as well as add detail.
I have no problem if people *do* enter a separate wish for a specific error message too, but I also think that it is asking too much to REQUIRE specificity on an issue like this. After all, there are probably 250+ error messages and the issue is generic across many of them.
