message numbers/tags

Some of the error messages from the CLI include message numbers/tags,
like "CLI128". It seems that the intent was that customers could look
up this tag and get more information about the error.

Is this still important?

Is anyone other than the CLI maintaining these numbers/tags?

Maintaining the numbers/tags is a fair amount of work, especially
without any tools to help. And it's not clear that anyone is maintaining
the corresponding message database.

Should we continue with this? Can we afford it?
