Comment:

 If you search the ticket archive, you will see that this issue has come up
 before (See #794, #2202). It has also been proposed and discussed at
 length on the mailing lists. The outcome of those discussions has
 historically been to reject this idea.

 Pluralization is almost impossible to handle in such a way as to be both
 comprehensive enough to support languages like Polish with complex
 pluralization requirements, while remaining simple to use for those
 languages that have relatively simple pluralization requirements (Cases
 1-5 in the page you reference).

 If you have a specific suggestion for an elegant way to handle Polish (and
 other complex pluralization cases) that is compatible with existing usage,
 feel free to reopen this ticket.
