It boggles the mind that someone just made a breaking change in one of the
most-used magic functions without bothering to ask for the opinion for
translators or even notifying them afterwards. Are there no communication
protocols in place at WMF at all? This is not the first time that users have to
find out from obscure bug reports or commit summaries that they are supposed to
use something differently.

Even languages which do not use plural with numbers might want use PLURAL for
aesthetic reasons (such as writing "one" or "a" instead of 1), or might want to
phrase the message differently when it is about multiple things. (For example,
"you have [a message/X messages]; you can read **[it/them]** by..." - the
starred part might be different even in languages which do not use plural with
numbers; such is the case with Hungarian.)
