I think we should move this sentence to before the Ń•entence about the
default value. That way, "If the list is empty, ..." is immediately
followed by "If the list is not empty, ..."
IMO the phrase "open a port" is kind of nonstandard. I think we should say
something along the lines of
If listen_addresses is not empty, the server will start only if it can
listen on at least one of the specified addresses. A warning will be
emitted for any addresses that the server cannot listen on.
