Yes. What do you hope you will gain from doing this? The files will
“seem” more up to date but the translation coverage will actually stay
exactly the same.

The obsolete translations still end up in the compiled catalogues and increase the package/installed size. The total isn't big admittedly (in particular when compared to other assets like images), but the relative saving is quite significant (up to 50%) for those stale translations that haven't been updated for many years.

Installing message catalogues where half of the entries are never used seems fairly pointless as well :-)

(For context, the discussion in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/3049 triggered the MR. Although the messages he tripped over are already commented out, so the MR won't "fix" his issue)
