Thanks for this. :-)  Somewhat related is that it'd be nice to have the ability
to directly link to this table row via an HTML id attribute (bug 44252), but
that's tangential to this bug, of course.

Hah, and we apparently even have an article about this on the English
Wikipedia: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fewer_vs._less>. I suppose "fewer
than" is more correct, though I wonder, in this particular case, given that the
noun is in fact arguably uncountable (when this message is shown), whether it
should be "less than." ;-)  As you say, we'll leave that to local admins to
discuss and debate. Thanks again for the changeset.
