 Hey @SirLouen,

 I have also come across 2 somewhat related tickets that may be useful
 here:
 - [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/23361 23361]: Deleting a user
 without reassigning should have clearer messaging about the implications
 - [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/26195 26195]: Deleting users
 asks for reassigning posts even when there is no post/comment.

 I think there is an ongoing theme that we need to make this page clearer
 about what is happening, and one suggestion raised in
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/23361 23361] was about putting the
 counter within the label of the post type when re-assigning the posts.
 Also disabling the field when there are no posts present. I think this
 suggestion, combined with the above patch could make for a really clear
 structure on this page, and just help an admin user to make a more
 informed choice during this process.
