Comment (by claudep):
This is indeed a design decision. Do we want to make Django a good i18n
citizen or not? What you call a regression ([3 "Book" objects] instead of
[3 books]) is part of the necessary compromises we need to make in order
to be i18n friendly.
I'm not against keeping verbose_name_plural, either for non-i18n apps or
for undefined plurals. But as soon as you have defined plurals with real
numbers, you have to present whole sentences to translators. Any
constructed sentence will surely be broken at least for some languages.
