req.irqlentries spell the relational operator out in prose instead of using the canonical symbolic form that the rest of the corpus uses. This normalizes them.Less than or equal to APC_LEVEL<= APC_LEVELGreater than or equal to DISPATCH_LEVEL>= DISPATCH_LEVELGreater than or equal to PASSIVE_LEVEL (See Remarks section)>= PASSIVE_LEVEL (see Remarks section)Greater than DISPATCH_LEVEL> DISPATCH_LEVELThe four values that begin with
>or>=are single-quoted in the YAML frontmatter (req.irql: '>= DISPATCH_LEVEL') so the frontmatter remains valid YAML —>at the start of a plain scalar is the folded-scalar indicator in YAML, and an unquoted>= DISPATCH_LEVELwould fail to parse.This collapses the
<= APC_LEVELbucket from 601 entries to 836 (it now absorbs the 235 prose-form entries), and brings theGreater than ...outliers into the same shape as the 1037<= DISPATCH_LEVELentries.
