Follow-up Comment #4, bug #50910 (project gettext):
For me, that's clearly b).
I also understand the possible confusion concerning the build process. I think
that during the recent years, build toolchains in the GNOME world partially
lost the habit/interest to do more than compiling the .po to .mo files for
app's i18n (to be confirmed, I'm not a desktop developer). This is partially
due to the fact that developers are trusting po files committed by translators
which are generally up-to-date, thanks to our l10n.gnome.org-offered workflow.
So they may not run a .po/.pot merge process during their build stage (which
would have resolved our original use case). An other factor to take into
account is also a growing diversity of build tools (cmake, meson, ...).
