It means we will never have "0 replacements done" - and that is the string 
we want to avoid.

Why it would be trivial? If we really want "No replacements done" for %n=0, 
it would mean that we need to add another string for %n=0 for each plural 
message for every language. We will have 3 forms for English, 4 for Polish 
etc.
