Before removing such a sparse po file, it is recommendable (rather
mandatory) to contact the responsible translation team. And only in
case the team doesn't exist anymore or nobody responses within a
reasonable time frame, the file could be removed without any extra
approval. But as I already wrote, I'm in doubt of the benefit of such
an action. Maybe to get the "global control" of the project back
again...? Don't know.

Of course, this refers to Arnaud's plans, not yours.

Not to forget, instead of bothering with such rather cosmetic things,
developers could help us to make our translations better by placing as
many translator comments as possible. Well, the situation has
significantly improved over the years, but there's still a lot to
catch up.
