Only the fact that, as someone pointed out, it's apparently become the
"traditional" message for that error.
I personally have nothing particular against it; but if we do that, we
should alter a few others similarly (I know there's at least one more
reference to ai_socktype among those messages).
I imagine in that case, that the TRANSLATORS: comment would no longer be
necessary.
Keep in mind, of course, how this will look when [EMAIL PROTECTED] I
don't know whether that's good or bad, but I can't recall seeing normal
system quotes with bolding like that.
