Just an idea - maybe we should make sure the commits get done with a 
special string in the message 'plurals fixup' or similar so cross-branch 
merging and backporting (if desired) would be easier ? Or really for that 
matter making sure you definately did pull a version of source that does 
have the plurals fixed?
