It's not me who find the complaints. It's just from others.

Yes, I know that, as I said I had tried to do so to all PO's
under my maintenance. However, my question is for certain
cases where c-format string with plural form is shared
with some non-c-format. And there is actually _no_way_
to cover both with a single msgstr[0] entry without messing
one of the two. Please read my first post for the details.
