Re: [PATCH 00/10] Factorization of messages with similar meaning

Another aspect is that translators lose context. For example, "%s and %s
are mutally exclusive" may have to be translated differently depending
on what kind of text is substituted for %s. In this example it's
probably always command line options (I haven't checked), so not an
immediate problem. But something to keep in mind.

Yup.  I do not think we are quite ready to have two identical msgid
strings to be translated into two different msgstr strings.  We've
briefly talked about pgettext() a few months ago, but nothing
concrete came out of it, as far as I can recall.
