> @vicente-romero-oracle, please see my [`identity-alias-synchronization`](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/compare/master...archiecobbs:jdk:identity-alias-synchronization?files) branch for an example of only having a single `LintCategory` with an alias. This branch passes `make test TEST="langtools_javac"`. This patch is based on an another PR that I already had lying around which had some related changes.

I was working on something in this line too, just pushed the patch
