Because of previous merging, some fingerprints had grown to encompass others. Other fingerprints for the same or similar devices were close enough that they could be merged. This was a manual review of 614 fingerprints that were identified as differing from some other fingerprint by only the SEQ line (256 unique non-SEQ fingerprints). The result: 44 fingerprints were merged into others, or were deleted because they were a proper subset of some other fingerprint (e.g. Linux 2.6.17 that is not distinguishable from a broader Linux 2.6.11-2.6.32 fingerprint). A couple of these appeared to be identical copy-and-paste errors in the past. I was very conservative in what I chose to merge, choosing only the most-obvious fingerprint pairs that did not lose information (e.g. not merging unrelated specialized devices, even if their fingerprints were very close).
Here is some documentation for Nmap, but these files are much less comprehensive than what you'll find at the actual Nmap documentation site ( http://nmap.org ).
