Currently, both flags cause each of their non-zero exit code conditions to output the same exit code (20).

Could we perhaps differentiate these, to make usage in scripts on the user-side easier (not having to parse json to see which warning to output)?

Strictly speaking, this wouldn't be needed if one only needs either state in a script (empty package list + exit code 20? mirror issue. otherwise, packages in queue.)

But if one wants to differentiate between these, having different codes would help a lot.

Nevermind. One can just not set the -e flag and check the output... Not needed at all for scripting. Closing my issue again, sorry lol
