How is Burst Error Reporting considered in the PCIe 5.0 specification?

Burst errors are not reported any differently than regular correctable/uncorrectable errors. In fact, burst errors may cause silent data corruption, meaning multiple bits in error can lead to an undetected error event. Therefore, it is incumbent on system designers and PCIe component providers to consciously enable precoding if there is a concern or risk of bust errors in a system.
