Comment:

 That's a good point, I think we'll need a different approach to handle
 plurals properly.

 We have a few options, but I'm not sure which is the least insane:

 * Add [https://slexaxton.github.io/Jed/ Jed] to core. We can use this to
 properly handle the multiple plural forms, with minimum modification to
 existing code.

 * After an update has happened, manipulate the appropriate transient that
 `wp_get_update_data()` uses to generate the string, then
 `WP_Upgrader_Skin::decrement_update_count` can call
 `wp_get_update_data()`, send the string to the browser, then the string
 can be updated easily.

 * Same as above, but call
 `wp_version_check()`/`wp_update_plugins()`/`wp_update_themes()` to update
 the transients.

 Alternatively, we can go for the easier option of just setting the string
 to "Updates available", and not bothering trying to generate an accurate
 string.
