     I think the problem was some POT became obsolete in SVN but
Pootle rescan couldn't handle it.   But how housekeeping for such
change could be performed within the admin interface?   I imagine
manual operation would be needed anyway.
And we should note that the change was performed by not translator but
developers who chnaged organization of translation domains.
