Because 126 != 142?

Don't worry, both 126 and 142 are equally unused anywhere in rpm code ;-)

Seriously, all that's important is the _em(...) which will set
syslog(3) type flags to determine whether the message is spit
to stdout or stderr, with or without "error: " prefix, and to implement
-v and -vv CLI switches.

Nothing else matters.
